Add Image Thumbnails and Screenshot Gallery #56

Hey, I love the UI, and I have a suggestion that I believe would significantly improve the user experience when browsing open-source applications.

Currently, the app listings only show textual information (name, description, etc.). This makes it a bit difficult to quickly understand what an app does or what its interface looks like.

I propose adding two visual features to the app listings:

1. Thumbnail Previews:

- Problem: It's hard to get a quick sense of an app's purpose or UI from the text description alone.
- Solution: Display a small thumbnail image (like a preview screenshot) next to each app in the list. This would give users an immediate visual cue, making it much faster to scan and identify relevant apps.
- Example:

As you can see in the example above, the thumbnail provides a quick visual representation of the application.

2. Screenshot Gallery (Optional, but highly recommended):

- Problem: A single thumbnail might not be enough to fully understand the app's features and UI.
- Solution: When a user clicks on the thumbnail (or perhaps a dedicated "View Screenshots" icon/button at top right of the thumbnail), display a gallery of multiple screenshots. This would allow users to get a much more comprehensive understanding of the app before deciding to explore it further.
- Implementation Suggestion: This could be a simple modal/pop-up window with backdrop blur effect background that displays the images. Consider adding a way to easily navigate between the screenshots (e.g., left/right arrows, thumbnails).
