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…

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.

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.

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… 🤢
