Redesign the package index to make it more easily browsable from the website #9

The current package index has multiple issues, including but not limited to:

Packages are sorted by name
Inactive packages (most of them) cannot be filtered
All packages are displayed on a single page

It could likely be improved, by stealing blatantly (I mean, getting inspired by) ideas from https://pypi.org/ or npm, https://getcomposer.org/, or even luarocks (maybe... I'm not convinced they've done the best job).

The questions for newbies (like me) can be: Are there any library that already do what i want ? If yes , which one is more used/stable What Licence they belong,features they provide, etc... And only after i start looking at lib API (with a README file somewhere, or commented code, or examples)
