Beautiful but useless, I prefer sharing code with simple code tag rather than code in images, so people can copy test correct etc. For me code should be compiled, so it should be in text not in image.

#122You can add emojis, custom images, place logos of your favourite programming language or service, add twitter/facbook instagram handles, custom background.
Apart from the screenshot module, codekeep allows you to store and share code snippets, most of the ui is inspired from google keep and i have added more features on top of that, we named it codekeep (google keep for code snippets).
do checkout and let us know your thought :-) https://codekeep.io/screenshot

#123Feature request: This seems half-the-way there to a site I've been wanting for a long time, one that will give you a printer-friendly syntax highlighted view of a codebase.
Does your editor not have a print menu? I just printed a file from MacVim, looks great on paper.

I use fancy code display tools when making slide shows. Though in my case I have a plugin for Notepad++ that lets me copy syntax highlighted code from NP++ and paste it into PowerPoint with all the highlighting and formatting maintained. Super cool plugin. I can't just screenshot my editor (VSCode) because I use a theme that many people find violently irritating (DOS Edit). Anyway, this looks like someone's fun littl…
I just googled your VSCode theme and can provide another anecdote of violent irritation.
My Slack is similarly setup, to the limits that the themeing in Slack allows. :)

#125I have to say this feels rather strange next to the functionality of my PrintScreen key. Maybe I'm missing the point. I get that it's easier to look at than pastebin, but I'm struggling to grasp what else. I've always agreed that LOC is a terrible measurement, and similarly I don't delude myself into thinking positioned or colored code is more functional.
The use cases that come to mind are sharing previews of code snippets on platforms that don't support code formatting/highlighting like Twitter or Medium. The cleaner fake UI of this site, uncluttered by any warning or other editor glyphs, and the auto-resize make it slightly more convenient than an editor screenshot I suppose.
But still...why not print screen?

I got mildly pleasant nostalgic feelings looking at screenshot of DOS Edit theme myself, but I still wouldn't want it as my daily driver. Can totally understand about screenshots of that not really being cool to chuck in a presentation too.

#128Not trying to be argumentative but this is completely over my head and I do not understand the purpose. Is there some way to get a CSS snippet out for publishing in a blog/article/presentation or is it only images? edit: is this purely to add a rounded border/pad that you wouldn't get with WND+SHIFT+S / CMD+SHIFT+4 for sharing on sites where you don't control the style?
I created a Github Action to generate images for code, within github issues. The benefits: - Easy to view and understand the image of the code v/s the code block text when using a mobile device. Why? Easier to scroll images v/s text. - Members will no longer have to rely on the issue reporters and commenters to format their code blocks correctly. Using the in built formatter, the code is always structured properly -…
