Hello, this is the main Pi-Apps dev speaking here. First, I just wanted to thank you for maintaining this list of useful stuff available for Raspberry Pi. I occasionally use it myself, and have praised it elsewhere.

Just wanted to mention that we at Pi-Apps made the difficult decision today to stop offering or recommending PiKISS, due to its history for poor reliability and continued disrespect from the developer. You may want to do the same.

This really comes down to your thought process, on whether you value quantity or quality. But I would request that you reevaluate PiKISS on the criteria of its usefulness to users. It was breaking users' systems again for the past few days due to poorly tested code. See the full picture here: https://github.com/jmcerrejon/PiKISS/issues/209#issuecomment-2024386234

Or maybe add a warning like "sometimes unstable and can break your system; install at your own risk"
