Does this offer any real benefit over the official list on the sublime package control page? http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/community One suggestion to bring it to at least feature parity: It is useful to display the operating systems that each package supports.

I just do cmd+shft+p > Install Package

That gives you instant search.

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.

There's a small link to the repository in the meta line below each project description, next to the last modified date. It's hard to find. I was coming here to suggest that on package detail pages, the package name should link to the project repository, and not recursively to the detail page. That was my instinctual expectation.

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.

Does anyone know what package is being used for the Blue folder icons and search bar icons? http://sublimepackages.com/#/details/theme-flatland

I think that's flatland itself.

Oh neat. I didn't want to change the text theme since I like monokai.

Thanks for responding!
