I like the idea, but you have to work on the Design. I would not try to advertise it in that moment. Also create something that shows recent/popular reviews. At the moment i get the feeling that nothing is going on on your site.

A Question based on your comment, how do i know as package maintainer that there is your site with potential reviews on my package?

Which aspects of the design do you think need improvement?

I agree that there are not many reviews since I have just launched, but I need people to be aware of the site’s existence so that they can contribute.

Currently there isn’t any notification system in place for package maintainers, but that would be a nice feature to add.

Its not about the amount of views but showing that something is going on. Basically i have to find a project you commented on randomly to know there is any review at all. I would expect some "Latest reviews" on the startsite or something.

About the design it is mostly the colors that create a strange look, but also the "purse" bootstrap elements. There is no uniqueness to that. The colors look a bit like choosen randomly, there is no general theme for them.

I see your point. A list that shows recent reviews on the homepage would be helpful.
