I like that you can edit after you've saved it. Doesn't matter if it's simple if it's intuitive and works.

I'm assuming you don't keep people's screenshots to sell to the highest bidder. ;)

I love it. Fantastic for multiple reasons.

1) I can never remember the "intuitive" keyboard combinations to do this on my mac, but I can remember "easyprintscreen"

2) Useful. I can capture my screen, draw on it, highlight issues or bugs or whatnot, and share it.

3) I know you'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...)

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

i think linux doesnt save the image in the clipboard after you pushed the button, in ubuntu however a dialog is displayed after pushing the button that allow you to copy the screenshot to the clipboard, but this tool is specially designed for this purpose. AFAIK this wont work out of the box in linux :(

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