Show HN: My embarrassingly simple printscreen weekend webapp

I love it. Fantastic for multiple reasons.<p>1) I can never remember the &quot;intuitive&quot; keyboard combinations to do this on my mac, but I can remember &quot;easyprintscreen&quot;<p>2) Useful. I can capture my screen, draw on it, highlight issues or bugs or whatnot, and share it.<p>3) I know you&#x27;ll keep it running because it has an obvious, lucrative business model (assuming you monitor what screens people capture for the occasional useful password, credit card numbers, stock tips, blackmailing opportunity, etc...)

I think you could be clearer that &#x27;Save&#x27; uploads the screenshot to your site, and does not (as I assumed) open a Save-as prompt.

I really suggest you give some warning that this saves to a public site, I hit save and had my email in the background, thankfully there was no private information on screen.<p>This gave me quite a panic, please fix it or else someone else will make a bigger mistake.

Great work! It might be helpful to show images of common keyboards to show where the print screen button is. For example, on my keyboard it&#x27;s labeled PrtScn. I&#x27;ve had to explain hundreds of times where the print screen key is. <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=keyboard+images&amp;oq=keyboard+images&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.2562j0j7&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;espv=210&amp;es_sm=93&amp;ie=UTF-8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;search?q=keyboard+images&amp;oq=keyboard+...</a><p>To make it even more dead simple, you may even want to show a video. I&#x27;m not kidding.

I don&#x27;t think that it is clear to a user what to do here? What does &quot;this keyboard shortcut&quot; mean? What should a user do once they get the image in there? The paintbrushes should be labeled better? Then what?

I believe this tool has legs and is a bigger deal than you think.

I wonder, on my macbook I always did cmd+shift+3 or cmd+shift+4 without hitting ctrl.<p>I am not sure if there is a difference, if not maybe you can simplify the message :)

I&#x27;m assuming you don&#x27;t keep people&#x27;s screenshots to sell to the highest bidder. ;)

This has a lot of bones but no flesh. All I can do is a mark up a picture with really think ink.<p>The only thing this seems to be is a picture paster with save to server function that can be linked to using a short url.

Loved it. Combine with browser version&#x2F;OS&#x2F;etc and let the user send the info directly to the person who requested it. There&#x27;s a company doing something like that here on HN, but I couldn&#x27;t find it.

How do you delete something saved to Imgur? Need to have that option available.

Doesn&#x27;t work for me on Safari version 6.0.5 (8536.30.1) on OS X 10.8.4

On mac, Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4 will work with this for regions. If you hit space before selecting anything, you can select by window.<p>This is nice, as I rarely want to capture my whole screen.

Nothing to be embarrassed about. This is excellent. I can already see this being useful for our less technical users who need help reporting issues.

Very cool. It frustrates me to no end when users send a docx file containing screenshots.<p>As a precaution, I minimized everything. :)

I like that you can edit after you&#x27;ve saved it. Doesn&#x27;t matter if it&#x27;s simple if it&#x27;s intuitive and works.

Fantastic. Can see applications in technical support. You could easily enough combine with support details functionality.

I&#x27;m a bit confused. I can only manage to screen shot the website itself. How do I, say, screenshot my desktop?

I like it. I only wish there was the option to crop an image. Especially useful for people with multiple monitors.

Doesn&#x27;t WFM :( (Firefox + Linux)

You only need Shift + Command + 3 (no need for Control) to screenshot. Makes it much easier!

I guess i am not the only one who checked my whole screen before trying out the web app :)

It supports multiple monitors. Windows 7 Pro 64-bit + Firefox 25.0.

Nice, Can you add a progress bar for larger uploads?

This is a great little MVP, nice work. very useful

Didn&#x27;t work for me. Mac + Chrome.
