This came up on the brief discussion nearly two years ago! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10270323 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10270323 Choice quotes from the Github issue: https://github.com/kpreid/shinysdr/issues/39 https://github.com/kpreid/shinysdr/issues/39 it would be Wrong™ in my opinion to put such things as screenshots in the repository (since doing so permanently increases the total size and it's more like a build product than a source file) (I keep not wanting to because I see all the not-really-finished things in the UI.) ive got some screen shots you can use http://i.imgur.com/N3lsb6N.jpg http://i.imgur.com/N3lsb6N.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ACcWPhO.png http://i.imgur.com/ACcWPhO.png

  I don't get all these complaints about no demos/screenshots. It's like people don't want to spend 8 hours screwing with GNU Radio, gr-osmosdr and the obsolete version of Python required to run them, tracking down a driver for hardware that they may not actually own, setting up the hardware itself, and then making all this stuff work on a server that may or may not actually exist at the moment. Personally, I blame today's culture of instant gratification.

  A public demo instance is blocked on adding sufficient anti-DoS provisions to the server. One possibility I've considered is to make a simulation-only version packaged for Sandstorm, which would allow for a one-click trial experience — but not show any actual RF, so the internal simulator would need to be made much richer to actually show off the features.

    Or you know, you could just add a couple screenshots for people who are curious...
