Quite neat, but I had two problems:
1. The naming is confusing, a web interface that lets you browse a particular database is not generally called "a web browser" for that database. A web browser is the actual software you use to access the web.
2. I searched for a (not so) random package [1] and quickly got a bunch of matches. I did not understand the ordering (the latest version number was not on top).
3. When I clicked the first match, I got a "Bad Gateway" error from [2], but I guess it might be squeezed by HN just now.

Was also looking at some moderately sized packages and it was struggling but would eventually return the page. Smaller packages seem to be no problem.
