As the list is growing, maybe you could make it easier to find all apps/firmwares matching a certain device, e.g. quickly find everything for iOS or the T-Deck Plus.
For the apps that would mainly divide into Desktop, iOS and Android; maybe Mobile apps (iOS, Android) and Desktop apps (Windows, macOS, Linux...) could be main categories?
For the stand-alone device firmware section maybe it could have a filter by compatible devices?

that might get a little messy breaking it down by separate device unless maybe they were grouped with in the current table structure instead of tables by device. As it is, sorted by number of stars makes extra steps when adding anything to the list - instead of just adding either alphabetically or at bottom of a list we have to check the stars the project has and check where in the list it needs to fit into....

I had been thinking for the apps having icons it indicate the supported OS would be useful for visitors

Thoughts @samuk ?

As a first pass I might try going through each of the firmwares and listing the supported devices as the first part of the description, that might at least give us a sense of the crossover between the various firmwares.

I had a go and I think it's a bit clearer now. Maybe a matrix table at some point would be good.. Closing for now, do open another if you have ideas about how to present this new info more clearly
