I feel like the one thing it's missing is "upload this screenshot and give me a shareable URL"... I always end up going to imgur and pasting the copied screenshot in there to get a URL.
For example, https://screenshotscdn.firefoxusercontent.com/images/[guid-l...
I've seen someone nearly who was close to getting seriously burned by such a feature.
Uploading needs to be very clearly advertised and easy to avoid otherwise people will get burned.
I guess that's why Firefox removes that feature.
I started a project related to this years ago but never finished it. Now that same-origin canvas taint issues have been fixed in most browsers, maybe it's time for me to work on this again.
A related API that is not accessible to web content is Safari's console.screenshot() utility[1].
In order to mimic our workflow as much as possible, it uses the open graph social html tags to load the screenshot directly on the page in Slack.
We're thinking about adding comment capabilities), among other features (i.e. automatically rendering a mobile, tablet, and desktop screenshot, immediately making the background transparent etc.) and would love any thoughts.
It's basically just a folder watcher and a shell script.
I've always just used ShareX with imgur/streamable/self hosted/etc. Works system wide too.
I haven't heard of ShareX so will check that out and definitely look into a self-hosted option.
which (according to the 2 gifs on their website) ONLY takes screenshot from chrome. so i can't take a screen shot of something from another application in another window. i see nothing new that this thing brings to the table?
why would i use this this over something like lightshot (https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html), which is native, has everything that thing has and more like annotations?
