It is, it was quicker to implement a proof of concept to check for "show 
stoppers", than to think about it, also you cannot miss an issue when 
you have a basic implementation.

Additionally this puts some parts of the puzzle together to get a 
clearer picture of the overall concept and issues.

Yes.

I added an "if page exits part" to display the api.
We can later query the github organisation of packages in case the 
package is hosted there to provide additional information like links, 
issues, etc.

I had to put the page on the server to make the API request work (CORS 
issue):

The list layout (coloring, link color ect.) is in css, so this can 
easily be updated in case we use the js version of the list officially.


Best,
Steffen
