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

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 use…

Haha, there's no monitoring setup, infact there's no backend at all :)

If there's no backend, where are the images saved to? Just curious.

I don't think that it is clear to a user what to do here? What does "this keyboard shortcut" mean? What should a user do once they get the image in there? The paintbrushes should be labeled better? Then what?

From looking at the source, imgur.

Doesn't WFM :( (Firefox + Linux)

Oops, I tested on Win+Mac. Guess I'll be downloading linux then.

You could run up a machine on susestudio and use that via the online VNC[-like ?] interface.

Also the ability to crop off or to blur out/cover up anything that the user does not want shown

This has a lot of bones but no flesh. All I can do is a mark up a picture with really think ink.

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.
