Hello @matan-h,

I really like Transfer, yet the screenshots doesn't explain the app quite well..
So I created 6 screenshots for the app, and I hope you'd like them!
I used GIMP to create them and I left the .xcf files in the repo, so its easily manipulated.
Its up to you how you want to organize it tho..

The laptop photo (vector) used is public domain:

Here they are:

That's absolutely awesome!

However,the laptop framing might be hard to see on the mobile f-droid clients

Screenshots: IzzyOnDroid only picks the phoneScreenshots for now. Please refrain from "framing" your screenshots (especially if the frame does not provide any useful additional details but just waists space) – consider many users will browse your app information on their phones, using one of the F-Droid clients. Screenshots will always be "downsized" to 350px on their small side and, if this still leaves large PNGs, converted to JPG – again with the users on their phones in mind: small data plans or bad connections should not have too much bad effect on them.

Thanks! I appreciate that 😃

I only created the screenshots for mobile, so that should work fine.

And for the laptop vector, I actually made it intentionally big, I thought its good but we can scale it down for sure.

We can also have two screenshots where the laptop is split or something. Its really up to you.

About the laptop image, I think it makes sense to make the laptop display larger, so more of the picture gets captured by the website.

Also, for merging this PR: the symlink (fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/images/result) should be named phoneScreenshots so it will work with IzzyOnDroid.

Thanks

Hello @matan-h!

I fixed the symbolic link and changed the laptop screenshot to this:
Its a bit different, not the best, but that what I came with.
