Category pages' JSON-LD ItemList listed entries in download order while the table renders them in README (editorial) order, so structured-data positions didn't match the visible rows.

Category pages render each README section's description as-is, so cross-reference links inside it pointed at README anchors (#package-management on Build Tools, #web-apis on Web Frameworks) that don't exist on those pages and led nowhere.
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
With tags now pointing at section anchors instead of filtering in place, subcategory pages (74 clicks and 19.7K impressions in the last 3 months) had no other internal links pointing to them.

Clicking a category or group tag filtered the homepage table in place while rewriting the address bar to the category URL, so one URL rendered two different pages and readers never reached category pages with their intros and guides; category pages also showed a redundant self-referential filter bar.

Category pages sorted rows by downloads, which buried editorial leads (the Django ORM showed as row 7 of 7, tkinter as 14 of 14) against CONTRIBUTING.md's "position is the marker"; the full intro in the hero pushed the table 2.5 screens down on a phone; and every page repeated the same "Search every project in one place" H2.

Category page titles read "ORM Python Libraries", but people search "python orm", so the title word order didn't match the query.

Category pages carried no text of their own beyond the README one-line description, and most meta descriptions fell back to a generic "Explore N curated Python projects" line, which correlated with weak search rankings for category queries. This adds optional per-category intro markdown files rendered under the H1, with the first paragraph used as the meta description and links opening in a new tab, starting with the ORM category.

Renamed or dissolved category slugs (e.g. /categories/web-servers/rpc/, /categories/code-analysis/code-linters/) returned 404, Search Console lists 7 of them, and each audit re-home was dropping the old URL's ranking.

azure-sdk-for-python and google-cloud-python were rendering "Not on
PyPI", which is misleading. Both do ship on PyPI, just as many
per-service packages (azure-identity, azure-storage-blob,
google-cloud-storage, etc.) rather than under the repo name.
pypi_name_overrides.json already recorded that distinction in its
reason field; those two entries now carry an optional "badge" value
that build.py reads into the PyPI Downloads column. The other sixteen
no-count entries (cpython, renpy, agent skill repos, etc.) keep
"Not on PyPI" since that remains accurate for them.

django.db.models, geodjango, httpx.URL and uv audit were rendering
"Not on PyPI" alongside eighteen genuinely standalone projects that
simply are not packaged on PyPI, conflating two different reasons for
a missing download count.
These four entries now carry a "(part of X)" description prefix in
README.md, mirroring the existing "(Python standard library)"
convention. build.py reads that prefix into a bundled flag that both
templates render as a "Bundled" badge.
The prefix approach was chosen over a separate data file so README.md
stays the single source of content truth, and over inferring from the
entry name because geodjango is neither dotted nor spaced and would
have been missed. Redundant tail wording was trimmed from the
httpx.URL, geodjango and uv audit descriptions now that the prefix
names the parent.
The new entry format is documented in CONTRIBUTING.md and the
vocabulary in CONTEXT.md.

Standard-library entries rendered "Not on PyPI" in the PyPI Downloads
column, which read like missing data rather than a deliberate category
— the build already forces downloads to None for them so they never
pick up a same-named PyPI backport. They now render a "Stdlib" badge
instead, while genuine non-PyPI entries keep "Not on PyPI".
The filter tag is renamed to match, so the source-type value, the row
filter tag, and the synthetic category heading all read Stdlib now.
The literal "Built-in" strings scattered through build.py are routed
through the existing BUILTIN_FILTER constant so the label lives in one
place. The category page slug stays "built-in" so the public URL
/categories/built-in/ does not break.

Entries now end with "(PyPI downloads/month: N, GitHub stars: M)" where
known, replacing the stars-only note, since download counts are the
list's stated primary evidence signal. annotate_entries_with_stars is
renamed to annotate_entries_with_stats and looks downloads up by the
first link's display name, skipping category-index bullets (which link
into the site itself) and Built-in entries (which would otherwise hit
same-named PyPI backports like logging or asyncio).
The intro now mirrors the README subtitle verbatim with the
project/category totals on their own line below, and the "opinionated
catalog" wording is gone since the shortlist ADR is literally titled
"shortlist, not a catalog".

Entries with a download count now sort first (descending), with
stars, then Built-in, then name as fallback tiers for entries that
lack a count. main.js mirrors this in its default activeSort, clean
URL check, and third-click reset target. Sorting by stars remains one
header click away.
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Sourced from website/data/pypi_downloads.tsv the same way
github_stars.json feeds the stars column. The new sortable column
sits between GitHub Stars and Last Commit on the homepage and
category pages, formatted with thousands separators like stars, with
an em dash when no PyPI data exists. Rows are matched by normalized
README display name; Built-in entries never show counts since
same-named PyPI packages are stdlib backports (e.g. the asyncio
package).
Below 960px the column hides and the count moves into the expand
row, mirroring the existing Last Commit treatment. main.js gains the
downloads sort branch and URL param.
The deploy workflow fetches the TSV via the new
make fetch_pypi_downloads target with a daily actions/cache
fallback, mirroring the stars fetch, but non-fatal: the column
degrades to dashes when the fetch fails, unlike stars which the
build requires.

rendering blocks in build.py
- Replace synthetic dict literals with synthetic_category() helper
- Rewrite subcategory rendering to avoid O(n²) loop using precomputed dicts

directly instead of applying the slugify filter at render time
- Remove slugify from env.filters (no longer used in templates)
- Replace isIndexPage() wrapper with isIndexDocument constant in main.js
- Fix: call applyFilters() on page load when activeFilter is set
- Remove dead else branch in tag click handler (category pages with no URL)

Adds a dedicated sponsorship page at /sponsorship/ built from the Jinja2
template, with hero stats, tier cards, and CSS. Updates the index.html
sponsor sidebar link to point to /sponsorship/ instead of the GitHub
SPONSORSHIP.md. Adds the URL to the sitemap and test fixtures.
Also renames .impeccable.md to DESIGN.md.

Register Built-in as a navigable filter path alongside regular category
and group slugs, emit the page during build, add it to the sitemap, and
wire the Built-in tag buttons in index.html and category.html to navigate
there via data-url.

Add search input, filter chips, no-results block, and back-to-top
button to category/group/subcategory pages. Pass filter_urls_json to
all page types so tag-chip navigation works site-wide. Fix JS so
filter-clear and no-results-clear redirect to / on non-index pages
instead of trying to filter a non-existent local table. Remove the
now-redundant .category-results CSS overrides.

The category template rendered a tag for `category.name` plus a tag for
`entry.groups[0]`, which duplicated the group name on group pages where
those values are identical (e.g. /categories/python-language/ showing
"Python Language" twice). It also never rendered `entry.categories`, so
group pages omitted each project's actual category.
Mirror the index template's tag rendering on category, group, and
subcategory pages, and mark whichever tag matches the current page URL
as active. Pass `category_urls` and `current_path` to each render call
so the template can match by URL.
`| safe` bypasses Jinja autoescape. If a category name ever contained
"</script>", the literal substring would close the script block early,
leaking JSON content into the DOM and creating an XSS vector. Replace
"</" with "<\\/" (still valid JSON) and pass ensure_ascii=False so
non-ASCII names render readably. Also add a group_path() helper to
parallel category_path()/subcategory_path() and reuse category_urls
when seeding filter_urls.

Adds filter_urls dict (categories, groups, subcategories) in build.py,
passes filter_urls_json to the template, and injects a JSON script block
before the results section in index.html. Covered by a new test that
verifies all three URL types are present and correctly resolved.

Use the precomputed sub["url"] to identify which subcategories belong
to a category. Avoids parsing the "Cat > Sub" value string, which would
silently misfire if a category name ever contained " > ".

Collapse the if-seen/else-new branches so the category/group/subcategory
merge logic runs once per entry unconditionally, appending to empty lists
on first sight instead of duplicating the append logic in the else branch.
Annotate seen and entries as dict[str, Any] so ty can resolve the mixed
value types (str, list, None) in each entry dict.

The helper only appeared once and the logic is two lines, so the named
function added indirection without clarity. Removed the four dedicated
unit tests that covered the function directly.

Cache-write shape mismatches the TypedDict and callers mix .get() and
direct access, so the stricter type was providing false safety. Using
dict[str, dict] accurately reflects the actual runtime contract.
