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.
