Firefox recently added some really nice tools for taking screenshots: <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-screenshots" rel="nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-screenshots</a><p>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.
The homepage seems super light on info, and the Chrome extension page isn't much better. Where are the images hosted?<p>I've always just used ShareX with imgur/streamable/self hosted/etc. Works system wide too.
The extension seems great. But I don't see how would you monetize it from the home page. And if this get popular, how will you pay for the hosting and storage?
I'd love this to be native... something like $(0).screenshot() would produce a base64 string of the rendered element. Why doesn't this exist? Why do we need to rely on browser extensions? The closest JS-based equivalent I've found is html2canvas, which doesn't work as well as advertised.
I made this extension out of a frustration from working with my friend, sending screenshots without linking to the article (or design) where it came from. Screenshot HQ solved this by pulling the URL when the screenshot was taken.<p>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.<p>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.
really... another screenshot app??? and not an app, an extension to chrome?<p>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?<p>why would i use this this over something like lightshot (<a href="https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html</a>), which is native, has everything that thing has and more like annotations?
I have been using CloudApp for similar use case. It’s pretty good for screenshot sharing with annotations.<p><a href="https://www.getcloudapp.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.getcloudapp.com/</a>
Dropbox can integrate with the system screen taker for MacOS. Very useful. Automagically get a link in the clipboard every time you screen. I’ve seen this done so many ways
