GitHub and GitLab both support inserting images into your README.md. Here’s the syntax:
![Description of the image](https://path/to/image)
As a user, I completely agree. People often make decisions in a few seconds, and you’ve done all this work developing an app. That little extra step will allow you to make a difference to more people!
As a developer of a Lemmy web UI, I’ve been thinking about adding screenshots to my README for weeks but still haven’t done so 🙈
The SvelteKit + TypeScript combo is such a breeze to work with!
And compared to other languages, JavaScript scores pretty well in performance benchmarks. It has a lot more going for it than people give it credit for.
I feel your pain and I’m hoping I can help! I’m making a web UI that aims to be easier to use than existing ones.
Joking aside, I’m already donating the labor involved to create an alternative web UI. That’s as far as I’m willing to go for this project.
