PRISM Break is an example of another directory site.

<https://prism-break.org/en/>

It allows users to pick the system they are using so they can browse
software for that system.  It also shows for each listing what systems
it runs on.  This is handy for selecting software if collaboration with
users of multiple systems is required.
