Incredibly useful, getting my whole office to use it. I only wish I could resize the snaps on my screen.
Resizing snaps is actually one of the next features on our list. :)

Re: Show HN: Capture a screen area in OS X and automatically pin it
#62What I thought this was judging by the name (and what I want): Windows-style window 'snapping' at the edges. Pull window to the left to dock in the left 50% of the screen. To the right for the right 50% of the screen. Up to take up the whole screen. One of the few things I miss about Windows.
My favorite is ShiftIt. It doesn't do mouse drag but its open-source and has hotkeys - [ctrl+option+cmd+{left|right|up|down}]

Another useful utility is RightZoom which makes the Maximize button behave as expected: http://www.blazingtools.com/right_zoom_mac.html

#63This looks really great. I take tons of screenshots, always forget to delete the file on my desktop after I'm done doing whatever I need to do with it (email it, tweet it, whatever), and then spend too much time cleaning everything up once I've amassed too many. Now I can do what I need to do with it, keep it or delete it, and not have to worry about my desktop filling up.

#64Earlier quoted context omitted.
CMD+Q is intended to quit: that's what CMD+W is for (for closing the current window).
Yes, but it's standard for apps to ask for confirmation before quitting if there's reason to think the user might not really mean it e.g. there's unsaved data or unfinished operations.
I know you know, but for those who don't: it _was_ standard. Apple nowadays promotes applications to autosave and restore windows with their content at startup.
I think an utility like this should follow that strategy.

#65This looks like a replacement for Skitch. It is nowhere near as good yet, but perhaps it will get there. I'm hoping it will! Mind you, when I write "Skitch", I mean the original Skitch 1.0, not the disaster that happened after Evernote bought Skitch and decided to "redesign and integrate with Evernote".
The worst thing about Skitch is the integration with Evernote. No, I don't want to sync, I just want to take a screenshot and drag the image to an application.
Download Skitch 1.0. It is still available and works great — it is much more useful than their 2.0 version, in fact.
While it still works, it is by far the best solution for capturing quick screenshots and annotating them.

#66This is really cool but I have one question: "Now free, one month only" that means it's free forever if I download it this month or can I use it for free for one month and then I have to pay?
