Where should I store the screenshots? In a screenshots folder in the repo? Should I update them at some time? Should I screenshot both light and dark theme?
Where: In the repository, most projects seem to use
mediaorscreenshotsas the name of the directory.How often: Whenever a big change happened or many small changes have accumulated.
What: Light theme suffices. I only care about the general look and feel, not about specific colors.
That’s how I would do it for my own projects.
As an example, an old Android project of mine: https://github.com/moritzruth/JamRSS
I showed one screen in both the light and the dark variant to demonstrate that the app generally has support for dark mode.
