show package details on /packages/?

Similar to many other distros, having some view of package details (like this example on arch), instead of just linking to the srcpkg dir on github could be a nice addition to the site. If it's a welcome change, I can work on implementing it.

This may require adding an endpoint to xq-api to retrieve more package details than it currently gives.

You might be interested in taking a look at https://github.com/Chocimier/pkgs.void

ah, neat! Does that mean the package search will eventually use that?

I remember there was some interest, but I don't know of any actual movement in that direction.

@Chocimier and @the-maldridge, are there more plans I'm not aware of?

The packages site will eventually live at pkgs.voidlinux.org, though this will take some time to get setup and stable.
