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....

I appreciate your joke, I totally got if.

Mainly because my dad would do exactly that if he ever had to use github lol. I grew up watching him literally throw manuals aside, only to have me or my sister bring them back when he screwed up lol.
