# Screenshots for Google Play Store
## Required Screenshots
You need to capture **2-8 screenshots** from the deployed PWA at https://app.placebo.mk
### How to Capture Screenshots
#### Using Chrome DevTools (Recommended)
1. Open Chrome browser
2. Navigate to https://app.placebo.mk
3. Press `F12` to open DevTools
4. Click the device toolbar icon (or press `Ctrl+Shift+M`)
5. Select device: **Pixel 5** (1080 x 2340)
6. Capture each screen:
- Click the three dots menu in device toolbar
- Select "Capture screenshot"
- Save as PNG in this directory
#### Recommended Screenshots
Capture these key screens (in order):
1. **screenshot-1-home.png** - Homepage with hero article and latest articles
2. **screenshot-2-article.png** - Article detail page showing full article
3. **screenshot-3-archive.png** - Archive page with article grid
4. **screenshot-4-live-blogs.png** - Live blogs listing page
5. **screenshot-5-live-blog-detail.png** - Live blog detail with real-time updates
6. **screenshot-6-categories.png** - Category page (Sport/Art/Science)
### Google Play Requirements
- **Format**: PNG or JPEG (PNG recommended)
- **Minimum dimensions**: 320px (shortest edge)
- **Maximum dimensions**: 3840px (longest edge)
- **Aspect ratio**: 16:9 or 9:16 recommended
- **File size**: Under 8MB per screenshot
- **Quantity**: Minimum 2, maximum 8
### Current Device Settings
Using **Pixel 5** emulation:
- Resolution: 1080 x 2340 pixels
- Pixel ratio: 2.75
- Portrait orientation
- This meets Google Play requirements perfectly
### After Capturing
Once you've captured the screenshots:
1. Name them as: `screenshot-1.png`, `screenshot-2.png`, etc.
2. Place them in this directory (`pwa/public/screenshots/`)
3. Optionally add them to the PWA manifest for better install UX
4. Upload to Google Play Console when creating the app listing
### Optional: Add to Manifest
If you want screenshots to appear in the browser install prompt, update `vite.config.ts`:
```typescript
manifest: {
// ... other config
screenshots: [
{
src: '/screenshots/screenshot-1.png',
sizes: '1080x2340',
type: 'image/png',
form_factor: 'narrow',
label: 'Homepage with latest articles',
},
// Add more screenshots here
],
}
```
### Tips for Great Screenshots
- ✅ Use actual content (not Lorem Ipsum)
- ✅ Show the app in use with real articles
- ✅ Capture different sections to show variety
- ✅ Make sure text is readable
- ✅ Use light mode (default theme)
- ✅ Clear navigation bar and UI elements
- ❌ Don't include device frames (Google Play adds them)
- ❌ Don't add text overlays (save for marketing images)
- ❌ Don't capture error states or empty screens
