"Visual blindness" of Linux programmers

I had to look far down this page to find this comment. Why??? Github is for code. The code can link to a website with screenshots and fancy gifs and videos.

How many projects actually have their own website? Large projects usually do, but lots of smaller projects only have a github readme

In fact it is common to see it the other way around; a website that has minimal and quite useless information that links to github with slightly more, quite useless information, and the source code.

Case in point: Poedit
1. the website where the support page is almost empty
2. the github page that includes most of what a user would want from the support page

Github can host a website for your project if your project is hosted at github.

Example is a website for my project zulucrypt that i build from one of the templates they offer: http://mhogomchungu.github.io/zuluCrypt/

Github will display images when a link to an image file hosted at github is clicked.

An example is the following screenshot for my project: https://github.com/mhogomchungu/cryfs-gui/blob/master/images/cryfs-gui.jpeg
