Which is fine and all but repos with such sparse README's are not doing themselves any favors.

Including images in a readme means committing (maybe large) binary files to the repo.

They could commit thumbnails linking to originals hosted on their website.

Thumbnails are not even needed - they can just use a plain old img tag in the readme with an external src.

Yes. One image won’t kill you. Or just refer an external static image.

How large are a couple of 1080p PNG screenshots? 0.5MiB?

The link to the homepage is literally on top of the README. You're just being a complainer for complaining sake.

my favorite kind of hn comment.

the 'technically correct' part

the 'completely missing the point' part.

Agreed. It's pretty trivial to add a few images to your markdown. I had to hunt for the screenshots, which are full size entire desktop grabs for what is a web app -- odd.
