Neat! Thanks for this. I've been playing with node this weekend and I was pining for something like the http://rubygems.org site and this fits the bill nicely.

I created it so I can compare different alternatives before picking a module to use. I'm glad it's useful to other people too.

The repo link is not obvious. I expected the name of the project to be a link.

Good call. I'll make it link to the npm page.

Nice. I've had a tough time finding modules for node with Google. Github search doesn't help too much.

http://npm.mape.me/ is a straight-up list of what's in npm. I follow twitter.com/nodemodules for updates to npm. It would be nice if everyone with modules listed in the Github wiki (https://github.com/ry/node/wiki/modules) would get onto npm.

There is also http://search.npmjs.org/

Gorgeous design (and speedy interface)! When I searched for a couple of my npm modules, however, I couldn't find them ("calais" is one). A small wishlist of stuff I'd love to see in an online npm index: related modules, rating, and comments.

There is a bug where only 2.x compatible modules are indexed. This will be fixed soon.

Very nice work, navigating backwards wasn't exactly intuitive (clicking the tag gets rid of the tag, maybe add an [x] or breadcrumbs).

Love it to see a true "I hacked this together" post. Looks great, glad to know the node.js crowd is growing. :)

None of the existing sites like this (http://npm.mape.me/, http://search.npmjs.org/, and now yours) don’t do anything special when a project has multiple maintainers, even though that information is all in the package.json file.

I like the message he has about IE6/7/8 users when you click on the top node.js+npm+github

  The page is broken? Sorry, I spend enough time dealing with IE 6/7/8 at work. Spare time is for fun. If you are using a modern browser though let me know: @blago

You need to do input validation on your search input. Accepts tags and processes them.
