Visual Assets Roadmap

This roadmap tracks the screenshots and images to add across the repository. The goal is to make the project easier to understand visually without making the repository heavy.

Last synced with the repository documentation on 2026-06-20.

Capture Rules

  • Prefer .webp for screenshots and .png only when text sharpness is better.
  • Keep screenshots at 1200px wide maximum.
  • Aim for 100-400 KB per image, with 800 KB as a hard ceiling.
  • Use kebab-case filenames.
  • Hide personal data: usernames, hostnames, private paths, tokens, project names, email addresses, internal URLs, and API keys.
  • Capture focused windows, not the full desktop, unless the macOS setting itself needs context.
  • Keep terminal screenshots visually consistent: same theme, same font size, and similar window width.
  • Add a short alt text when inserting each image in Markdown.

Validation Checklist

Each image should be reviewed before it is added to a documentation page:

  • The image explains a real feature or workflow.
  • Text is readable at GitHub README width.
  • No private or distracting information is visible.
  • The filename and destination match this roadmap.
  • The file size is reasonable.
  • The surrounding Markdown references the image with useful alt text.

Current Status

All actioned roadmap assets are present in the repository.

Phase 1 - Core Repository Story

These images should be created first. They give the README and main setup flow a clear visual identity.

Suggested Review Order

Use this order when adding and validating screenshots:

  1. Create Phase 1 images and validate them one by one.
  2. Insert the approved Phase 1 images into README.md and docs/setup/setup.md.
  3. Create the menu bar overview and SwiftBar dropdown from Phase 5.
  4. Create the Gitmoji and commitlint images from Phase 8.
  5. Create shell, Zsh, and Homebrew images from Phases 3 and 4.
  6. Create app screenshots from Phases 6 and 7.
  7. Create quality, CI, PHP, and AI screenshots only where they improve a page.
  8. Add architecture diagrams after the screenshot style is stable.

Per-Image Review Template

When reviewing an image, record:

Current First Batch

The original first batch is complete. Future image work should be driven by new documentation changes or by the optional opportunities listed above, not by this initial checklist.
