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....

Wait what? I thought the read me file was to put as little info as possible to prove how awesome anyone was who can use the program.

Including the documentation link, which only has incomplete getting started section

Getting Started

Clone the repo

Install dependencies

Compile the project: TODO

Copy the executable to /bin

Add your app.json config to ~/.config/app*

* IMPORTANT. APP WILL NOT RUN WITHOUT THIS
