Hi @maelle,
Great post! I love that promoutils featured, but that particular function is broken
You'll seem some more vale inspired comments here and just general wording suggestions. As always, go with what you think sounds best!

roblog::ro_lint_md()on index.md - I ran
roblog::ro_check_urls()on index.md - I ran a spell-check on index.md

| The toolbox for community management tasks, [promoutils](https://ropensci.r-universe.dev/promoutils), calls an R-universe API to get information, and the list of, [rOpenSci packages](https://github.com/ropensci-org/promoutils/blob/18c80362002bafe48c7c88c1ca062ac3a3050358/R/utils.R#L25). | ||
| This list of packages is in particular used in the [function](https://github.com/ropensci-org/promoutils/blob/18c80362002bafe48c7c88c1ca062ac3a3050358/R/help_wanted_json.R#L48) that outputs data on [help-wanted issues](/help-wanted). |

This is actually broken right now 😢. If you don't mind waiting a bit, I can fix it before you publish?

Okay! motivation to get it done!
| R-universe, our platform for improving publication and discovery of research software in R, not only provides a human-friendly website, but also programmatic access through APIs! | ||
| Thanks to those APIs you can list universes, packages in an universe, get information on packages, perform searches, without any need for authentication. | ||
|
|
||
| The APIs are both handy and reliable. |

Ours might be reliable, but I don't think that's an inherent property of APIs in general 😅

So you think I should remove this sentence?

Or add "R-Universe" to be clear that we're talking about specific R-Universe APIs. I think I got confused by the plural APIs: I'm used to thinking about the R-Universe having one API with multiple end points. So when I read "APIs" I assumed it was a general statement.

A more balanced screen shot would be prettier ✨
