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 app user: feel free to improve the README file of the projects you come across by adding a few screenshots you believe are relevant.

As both user and developer - user CAN contribute but the developer/maintainer SHOULD add the screenshots.
