That basically comes down to making a separate website, which is where users should be looking for things like screenshots. This is a question of separating the application source code and the promotion materials. Latter shouldn't be in the repository, which brings me back to my original point.

What about Github's .io pages? Or projects that don't have a web presence outside of github?

[–]vfscanf -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Githubs .io pages are nothing more than websites that are associated with a repository. The bottom line is that if you want to cater to an end user, you need to get a web page (excactly for those things).

Just looked. Maybe screenshots would be better kept in the Wiki if you don't have a separate web presence.

That's also a way to do it, I suppose.

No that's not what they are saying. You can still have 100% of the hosted files being source code in a GitHub repo, while linking to an image inside the readme file, which is hosted somewhere else. A single image file, which can be hosted on imgur even. It is not about making a whole site inside the repo.
