#2I 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.
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.

#3Firefox recently added some really nice tools for taking screenshots: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-screenshots
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.

Maybe seamless integration with Firefox Send https://send.firefox.com/ will be great

#5Dropbox 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

#6The homepage seems super light on info, and the Chrome extension page isn't much better. Where are the images hosted?
I've always just used ShareX with imgur/streamable/self hosted/etc. Works system wide too.

It would be awesome if we can draw annotations (arrow, circle etc).

It used to have that and the service got discontinued.

Hey Jowsie! Yes, currently the files are hosted on just on a public s3 bucket, so definitely not the most secure, but maybe something to add in the future.
I haven't heard of ShareX so will check that out and definitely look into a self-hosted option.

Interesting. It looks like it was just the less popular option. https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2019/01/24/clarifyin...
