What did you do?

Visited the page

What did you expect to see?

A way to browse the standard library. I learned most of what I know about the runtime, sync, mime, and other packages by perusing the documentation looking for packages I hadn't used before. I never would have been able to do that with the use case the website is focused on right now: finding what you're already looking for. I don't always know what I'm looking for. I love that this is one place for documentation, even non-standard libraries, but pkg.do.dev/std should be easily accessible from the homepage. I had to find it by searching for something I didn't want to find then clicking a breadcrumb that didn't seem related to the actions I took to get there. It was not beginner-friendly.

Maybe one of the hints under the search bar could have a link or a "What's in the standard library?" FAQ link that takes you to the page.

What did you see instead?

A search bar that doesn't aid in discovery.
