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:

https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser/

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?

Thank you for your comment. I already link the Readme towards screenshots and installation file due to other remarks of users.
Yeah, my point is just to have the screenshot "right there" (embedded in the README) so it's nearly the first thing people see. :)

When people need to click on links to see the screenshot(s), it seems like a missed opportunity. ;)

Oh hey!! I use sqlitebrowser quite often! Thanks for you know making it exist and all.
You're welcome. :)
