I just do cmd+shft+p > Install Package That gives you instant search.

The benefit of an online listing is easy access to package descriptions and repositories. When there are multiple packages for a given task, I'd like to know which is more heavily updated and supported. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe there's a way to open the Github page from that menu.

Yeah, I've been aware of a lot of these limitations for quite a while. The new Package Control site solves these problems, plus a whole lot more.

I'm very excited about the launch - with any luck I should have something to show off in the next couple of days!

Middle click to open in a new tab seems ok for me (Chrome 28 Stable on Win7 x64).

Middle click doesn't seem to work on Chrome 28.0.1500.72 on Win8 x64... It does, however, work on 30.0.1582.0 canary.

Win 7 Chrome 28 works fine

Couple of suggestions: * Add categories (by language, software integration, accessibility, whatever) * Add links to the package website and/or Github url * Add screenshots for every package, especially themes. Nothing worse than clicking on "Uber Theme VIII" only to see that it says "Here's a new theme called Uber Theme VIII" but I'd have to install it to find out what it looks like. No thanks.

hey, site author here

I'm planning to add these features in the upcoming days/weeks:

- load package infos from other sources than github - st 2/3 version compatibility - supported platform - faceted search

right now the website is as minimal as possible, I wanted to ship something as quickly as possible to have the fastest possible feedback. I wasn't expecting someone to post on HN though — nor my poor ec2 micro instance did ;)

> links to the package website and/or Github url

It's always there :)

> Add screenshots for every package, especially themes

Lots of theme developers already put theme in their README, though I agree some don't and it's painful. I'll see what I can do.

Middle click does not work for Chromium 28.0.1500.71 :(
