> This project would benefit greatly from some screenshots

I can’t think of any project that wouldn’t benefit from screenshots.

I keep seeing project that seem really cool, but their creators do their absolute best to NOT show what it looks like, or what it does. This is a mystery to me.

It doesn’t surprise me. The skillset to maintain/build/etc this project and the marketing skillset rarely overlap. Personally I hate working on the public-facing aspect of my side business even though I know it’s probably just as important if not more so than the technical aspect. Doesn’t matter how good something is if people don’t know about it.

Open source regularly suffers from this and I’m always very impressed when I see a project with good technical _and_ marketing chops.
