Looks pretty cool. One comment though: when clicking through the categories on the left, I see "x [number]" next to some of the tags, but that number doesn't seem to match the number of plugins that will actually be shown if you click on it.

Example: Completion->'deliminators x 3' shows three yellowish plugins, and then three differently colors plugins. What is the significance of the colors?

Example: Other->'manager x 3' shows no results.

This is exactly the kind of visually appealing and easily navigable Vim plugin directory I've been searching for ever since I started using it last year. Thank you for sharing, this is fantastic!

Just click the edit button next to "uncategorized", and select a category. You can edit and add tags as well if you'd like.

Hi! Thank you for checking this out!

The reason for the mis-match between # of plugins and tags count is the tags count only counts plugins with that tag in the category the tag is nested under. I agree this is quite confusing, and should just make the two views consistent. I'll add an issue to GitHub about it.

Each category has a distinct color.

> Other->'manager x 3' shows no results

Oh, we hide plugin mangers right now, so no results are shown. :( Will fix this to be nicer, thanks.

Thank you! Wanting such a thing is why we built it. :)

This is pretty cool. However, clicking on a plugin takes you to [1] (for example). Clicking on the header there takes you to [2]. This is probably not the intended behaviour.
