Describe the problem

I went looking for the pana tool because I couldn't remember what it was called. I wanted to check my package before I published it to ensure I had a high pub points score, that I was reporting all of the platforms that were supported, I had good API docs coverage, etc.

Expected fix

there should be docs that encourage folks to use pana on their package before they publish it; they'll catch all kinds of errors that way and save them from getting errors that kick their package back or being surprised as to what pub.dev says about their package.

Additional context

pana is essentially a pre-publishing tool for package authors and we should be recommending everyone use it as part of their publishing process. and it's owned and maintained by the Dart Tools team, so there's no excuse for us not to encourage folks to use it.

I would like to fix this problem.

• I will try and fix this problem on dart.dev.

note: please excuse the use of the term "we" to imply my inclusion in the Dart/Flutter team. I still think of myself that way. : )
