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

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

Yeah, I've apparently accidentally just uploaded a screenshot of some closed source code to imgur...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

From looking at the source, imgur.

Sweet! Feature request: Would you expose the imgur link directly? I often want to take a screenshot and send it to someone, but I almost never need to draw on it. So getting a direct link to imgur would be perfect.

Also, would you consider removing the 5-second "Redirecting..." countdown?

EDIT: Right clicking on the image and clicking "Copy image URL" gives the imgur link.

EDIT2: When you click save, could you automatically copy the imgur link to the clipboard? That way you can save, alt-tab, and immediately paste the imgur link into email/IM/whatever.

Great work! Thanks for this.

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.

Also, ink55 has other nifty small tools.

The imgur id is in the URL after you press save :)

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

Skitch is bulky. Dropbox/Cloud.app are great, but too simple.

There's definitely middle ground for quick annotation, without going crazzzyyyy. If you can screenshot, annotate, and upload in 5-8 seconds, you've got my $$.

Doesn't work for me on Safari version 6.0.5 (8536.30.1) on OS X 10.8.4

I ran into a security error 18 with Safari after pasting the image from clipboard and running the data through Canvas .getDataURL(). Perhaps Safari devs could make an exception for clipboard images?
