Hey @DevinBayly ! @alecbcs pointed me to your project here and it looks great so far! I have two quick suggestions or points for discussion:

1. No results

When the user searches for a container and there are no results, perhaps there should be a message like "There were no results for your search, but you can browse collections below or try another search." I randomly tried ubuntu and pressed enter, and at first I thought it might be broken (there wasn't a noticeable response), but then I saw the collections below, and tried the search for "beagle" and of course it popped up.

2. About

Right now, there is a huge wall of text that takes up most of the page, and the search is at the itty-bitty bottom. When there are more containers here, you can imagine you'd want to have the beautiful grid of collections with names front and center. So my suggestion is to keep a centered logo, have the search box directly under that, and then the collections as they are now, so those boxes are the majority of the page real estate. And then the block of text can be moved into a single About link (top right of page or similar) so the interested user can click to learn more. Most users are just going to want to first search around for containers I think, and then only new users will click "About" after that.

Really beautiful work, the simplicity is really great! I can't wait to see how it progresses!
