Better ranking/sorting algorithm #1885

Description

@quantizor

Describe the feature

First of all, great work creating a performant npm browser alternative!

One issue I've noticed is a lot of good packages tend to get buried by npm due to nuances in their relevance ranking algorithm. For example, when searching for "markdown", the markdown-to-jsx library doesn't show up for multiple pages despite having a ton of downloads and many dependent libraries.

Curious what improvement can be made here and what other relevancy and/or sorting algorithms could be experimented with to qualitatively improve the average browsing session / surface high quality but less-hyped packages.
