Is it better to include screenshots in written tutorials or no? (Trying to put my own judgements aside to create better materials.)

For GUI apps I think yes, videos too are helpful too. One downside, with Nostr moving so fast, is keeping them accurate when software updates.

Thats my problem with anything that has screenshots. By the time I need it, everything is outdated.

Screenshots are pretty helpful for pointing at buttons and guiding the visual reader. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words after all. Sometimes diagrams are helpful too for visualizing mental models.

Yes. Or even litle screen-captures. Really drives up the maintenance effort, though, as those things tend to age quickly.

Yeah I don't know what the best balance is if things change too often. All I can say is good luck and have fun 🤞😁

That's my problem with them. Even big projects tend to fail on keeping accurate information available.
