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....

Dear Open source devs: Do something I'm too lazy to contribute.

Unironically yes. Asking someone that doesn't use your project, isn't part of the development, and quite possibly doesn't even want anything to do with your project to do work for you project is silly.

I mean, it's just a suggestion. The utility depends on the goal of the project. Am I being lazy? Don't care. Do I want maximum user engagement/feedback; well, the suggestion is sound.
