Aminet STILL doesn't have screenshots
That's wrong. Aminet has option for screenshots, but hardly anyone bothers to use it, hence it mostly just says "No screenshot available". Alot of stuff uploaded to aminet is also quite pointless to make screenshots of, and "forcing" people to make screenshots is just silly.

@Cammy
OK, so you cannot upload screenshots for now at least, but I recall having seen a screenshot or two there at some point. I typically access aminet using ADT, and not so much using web browsers. Maybe what you want is an update of MUIAdt? :P

As for an amiga app store - the cost of putting it up and maintaining it would never be paid back from the apps sold, and I very much doubt devs would be interested in exclusives, and without a lock-in - what would be the point?
