Quite cool! I was just asking about this yesterday and intended to give
it a shot at some point ^^.

A couple remarks:
- Packages are not sorted alphabetically, which makes for a weird
navigation.
- It'd be useful to show the package version as well. See:
    https://git.devuan.org/devuan-editors/devuan-www/issues/148
- A search function would also be quite useful :-).
- Probably showing a box for each page makes not much sense, I think the
usual solution for this is a few buttons for pages around the current
one and an input field that allows the user to write which page they
want to visit.
