Thank you for creating this site - it looks like an excellent piece of work. I hope you find a way to make some money from the work, enough at least to pay the hosting bills. A couple of questions: 1. I found a way to add a tutorial link to my package's page, but the wider documentation seems to be limited to whatever is put in the README.md file. Is there a way to add links to additional documentation? 2. You mention elsewhere in the thread possibly adding download sizes to the package page. This worries me a little because NPM appears to list the full size of the entire repository (which for my library is 44.5MB - the repository includes a lot of demos, assets for those demos, inline documentation, etc). Whereas the 'real' size of the minified file - the one which would be served to websites - is only 302KB (78KB zipped). If you do include download sizes in a future version, can I ask that you also include a way for maintainers to flag misleading information? [Editing to ask] 3. How can I get my package to show up in the search results, when people search for 'canvas'?

Thank you for your feedback! 1. Nope, we currently have no way to edit what's in the overview page, so unfortunately you'll need to edit your README file to add additional links. 2. In general, we're going to use an approach similar to BundlePhobia where we would show the gzipped/uncompressed file of the final file, but it does make sense to allow maintainers to flag this (and other information) as wrong. 3. Our search engine is still work in progress. We started with the npms implementation, added additional layers of information from our dataset, and will iteratively add more and more factors to search results ranking. Unfortunately, we still can't grant for a specific package to be shown in the search autocomplete. We are, however, adding a "search result page" that would show more than the 9 results that you see in the autocomplete.
