Bug Description
Upstream gnome-software is targeted solely at graphical applications. So the app view has a large “No screenshots” placeholder, to encourage the publisher to upload screenshots.
In Ubuntu the balance is different. gnome-software displays snaps as well as .debs. And many snaps have only a command-line interface, or (in the case of daemons) no user interface at all. It is still *possible* to upload relevant graphics, for example a screenshot of a terminal, or even a diagram. But it is much less likely, and those kinds of developers are also less willing and able to do so.
Therefore, the Ubuntu version of gnome-software should omit the “No screenshots” placeholder.
[This was discussed in the gnome-software design sprint.]
