The screenshots are dated 2017. Why are you posting this now? Has there been a major release?

The screenshots are recently, only the registrationmark is 2017, when the first ideas of the project started. The thirst publication on Github was 2019

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The screenshots are available look: https://github.com/DirkJanJansen/Pandora/tree/master/Install...

Maybe putting some on the top-level README? those are two levels down, and inside a subfolder of "Installation", which I would not ordinarily look into for screenshots...

Links for screenshots and installation files are added to the Readme.md

Thanks for the hint

Cool. :)

As a general thought for "making it more presentable", it's probably a good idea to embed a screenshot right into the front page README.

Just from the point of view that "when things look attractive, people are more inclined to check them out".

(Yeah, it's a super generalisation, but it seems to hold true).

As an example, we have a screenshot as nearly the first element people can see:

Since you already have a bunch of screenshots, it should be fairly simple to make happen.

Maybe these two, as they seem both clean and representative?

I'm aware, that the code could be organised better. But keep in mind, that the program is not written by a professional. It's intended as an example for integration python with a database system for the community and i am convinced that the program helds many aspects as a learning purpose for instance integrating graphs. And screenshots by the way are available in the project at https://github.com/DirkJanJansen/Pando…

The problem is that if you are putting this out there for purposes of education, it should use best practices, and it clearly doesn't here. I suggest that you significantly refactor this code. I believe that it can become much better with more modularization, more clearly explaining some aspects of the code and better project structuring.

Putting something out in the open does not imply any duties.

If you are so concerned, fork it.

Kudos! This is the kind of stuff that inspires me.

I am trying to build a couple products to figure out which will work and I want to focus on that for the next couple years. But I suffer a lot from procrastination, shift in focus when it comes to own projects.

I checked your commits, really nice that you kept steady since mid-March. If I can do that for my current project, it would be something useful to share with the world.

Thank you :)

We look forward to seeing your version!

Thank you for your comment. I already link the Readme towards screenshots and installation file due to other remarks of users.
