I like this idea! I used the packages web app heavily when I was
learning to package for Fedora. If the search result redirects to a
static page and it is possible to limit what data Yacy crawls, then it
would be possible to recreate most of the old packages functionality
using a JavaScript framework like Vue. I would like to help if there is
a need for any web development.
