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....

Agree, I don't know what's so hard about a screenshot.

I imagine most single developer projects lack any design or UX so the screenshot would do little to encourage users to download.

Is it better for someone to download it, see it, and uninstall it immediately? I'm not sure how they are tracking metrics or if they are at all.
