Open source devs: please, please add screenshots...

I beg you, if you are a developer of an open source app or program - add screenshots of your app to the README file. When looking for the perfect app, I had to install dozens of them just to see what the user interface looked like and whether it suits me. This will allow users to decide if the app they choose will suit them... Please, don't think about it, just do it....

  • Too lazy to just look the UI up and you want others to waste their time giving you numerous UI screenshots. Hypocrite

    • a.) I'm not convinced you know what the word hypocrite means.

      b.) More importantly, they didn't ask for "numerous," they asked for one.

      c.) Searching for the UI on, say Google, can have, at best, mixed results. Ive done this, then DLed and tried out the program only to find a completely different UI.

      d.) The dev adding one screenshot to their readme.md and a /media folder takes them only slightly longer than it takes potential users to look one up and maybe get a good result. Multiply that time by the number of potential users, and it's obviously more efficient, and effective, for the dev to do it.

      Stop being defensive. No one's attacking you or any other dev. They're making a request. Don't like it? Don't do it. Stop calling people names and trying to stir up drama.

      Edit: formatting

      • A. When one makes a claim like that when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection

        B. Its implied that there will be multiple and that's irrelevant

        C. That's never happened Lol

        D. Only takes you slightly longer to Google it too bitch. Don't like what I'm saying you can also stfu hypocrite. You also admit its an attack, as is all criticism right after you deny it. I'm not defending anything, just pointimg out hypocrisy which seems to anger lazy fucks like you who want to leech from good developers like myself and can't be arsed to Google a singe thing

        • I'm sorry, I'm just not seeing the hypocrisy.

          What is hypocrisy is calling people lazy because they don't want to do work for a project they're not sure they even want to use, while also excusing same lazy behavior for someone who is interested enough in the project to develop it.

          That's how you're being a hypocrite. Now, if you don't mind, please explain how OP is one. Or I am, for that matter.

          Also, I'm not angry. You're some rando on lemmy and I'm not that invested. I suppose I care enough to reply, but get pissed off? Nah, bro. That's all on you.

          • Wordnik.com/words/hypocrisy

            You both fit that definition, I don't expect to be given screenshots nor do I hypocritically tell people they can shut up if they don't like criticism. I'm not what I proclaim y'all are. You should really get better English and learn the meaning of basic words Lol. With the latter you once again appear to be projecting, When one makes a claim like that when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection. Also, have you showered at least in the past month? You should really try.. 🤢

            • Oh! I get it! You're just a troll!

              Aw, man, I can't believe I fell for that! Wow, you sure got me.

              I mean, surely if you weren't just a troll, you wouldn't tell me I should "get better English [sic]." That's a kind of hilarious gag right there.

              Also, when I gave you an example of your hypocrisy, you basically responded with "Nuh-uh! You are!" with, like, no explanation! That's hilarious!

              Oh! And then you repeated the "the community of behavioral analysis" bit when I actually explained why you were being a hypocrite, so it totally didn't apply anymore!

              Ah, man. Good troll. I haven't gotten suckered that well in a bit. Well, I got chat botted a couple weeks back, but that wasnt nearly as funny.

              • I perfectly debunked your argument and my statement made perfect sense. It wasn't just "No you!". What a complete and utter projection. Cope harder. Maybe you're the word parsing bot, When one makes a claim like that (Im a bot) when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection

                • I'm kinda done with you, child. But let's do this:

                  its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection

                  Yeah. You said that. Three times.

                  What you've failed to notice is that you keep calling me, and OP, hypocrites with no supporting evidence. I provided an example of your hypocrisy and explained why it was hypocritical. You didn't. So if anyone is making repeated unsubstantiated accusations, it's you.

                  So, by your own argument the only one projecting here is you.

                  I perfectly debunked your argument and my statement made perfect sensse.

                  No, you didn't. You posted a link to the definition of the word, and then said "oh, you totally did both those things" (I'm paraphrasing here.). You didn't point out where I or OP said anything that remotely met the definition you posted. So, to use your own dipshitty quote:

                  When one makes a claim like that when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection.

                  You've repeatedly made the claim that OP and I are hypocrites. Nothing indicates that we are. So, you must be projecting, according to behavioral analysis.

                  Wait - are you not convinced just because I repeated myself? Welcome yo my world, kid. That's all you've done this whole thread.

                  Oh, and you made an ad hominim attack against me questioning my personal grooming routine. So, there's that too. Since you have zero information about my grooming routine, then, because…

                  When one makes a claim like that when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection.

                  … I have to conclude that you are projecting, and could probably use a bath. And maybe some time away from the internet, out from under your bridge.

                  Oh! I almost forgot! You insulted my grasp of English with poor English. So, yeah. If you're gonna call someone's grasp of a language into question as a pathetic attempt at looking smart, here are two good rules:

                  1. Don't. You don't know if English is their first language, and even if it is, you just end up looking like an asshole
                  2. If you absolutely insist on doing it, proofread your fucking post.

                  Ta. It's been fun.
