pkg.bot is a fast, statically compiled Rust search engine for Linux packages that aggregates data from Repology's dump across 129 repositories. It offers rich filtering, sorting, RSS feeds, and a clean web UI, aiming to improve the clunky package search experience on most distros. The project is practical for anyone who frequently searches for packages across multiple Linux distributions.
