Would be nice if the landing page had some graphical pictures for a graphical interface...



Which is fine and all but repos with such sparse README's are not doing themselves any favors.


The link to the homepage is literally on top of the README. You're just being a complainer for complaining sake.


my favorite kind of hn comment.

the 'technically correct' part

the 'completely missing the point' part.


Including images in a readme means committing (maybe large) binary files to the repo.


Yes. One image won’t kill you. Or just refer an external static image.


How large are a couple of 1080p PNG screenshots? 0.5MiB?


They could commit thumbnails linking to originals hosted on their website.


Thumbnails are not even needed - they can just use a plain old img tag in the readme with an external src.


Agreed. It's pretty trivial to add a few images to your markdown. I had to hunt for the screenshots, which are full size entire desktop grabs for what is a web app -- odd.
