https://rescript-lang.org/packages right now is placed behind the 'Docs' menu. I find this to be quite unintuitive. When I went looking for it, I first looked under the Community menu, then in the footer, then got confused until i just went clicking through the other menu points. And this is me knowing that it exists. I'd appreciate a better placement for it.

Would it be better if there was a menu entry where it is described, like the playground?

I now realized the double 'package' in the title. A seperate menu point is one possible approach, yes. Something that comes to mind as an alternative is a link in the footer. I don't have any strong feelings towards any particular solution.

I could see an 'Ecosystem' tab instead, that gives short form introductions to ecosystem tools, rather than depending on the docs for that, and unifying the Package Index with GenType, Build tooling and maybe certain important FAQ articles around the core questions people approach the language with, e.g. 'how do i integrate it into a typescript repo?', or 'is it difficult to bind to js/ts?'.
