I would suggest adding more information about the desktop app. There is only one link at the bottom of the page, but I don't feel comfortable installing it without first knowing what is it about.

Yeah, I totally would have missed the desktop app had I not happened to see this comment. I was about to give up since a desktop app is critical for me.

I like how I can use it from my iphone safari. What mobile framework did you use (if any) to make this? / especially the upload image part?

Mobile devices were very much an afterthought. I was getting mobile traffic and did a best effort to make it passable, but I don't recommend it.

You should check out Bugshot (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bugshot/id669858907?mt=8) which I think does a much better job on iOS.

The desktop app is great. I was up and running on my mac in photoshop => email workflow I've been rolling with.

While I am in favor of keeping things dead simple, is 6 character URLs too few? Could someone guess confidential work-related screenshots based on that size?

Also is hot-linking/embedding directly to the final image allowed or discouraged?

That you're asking about keeping it unguessable makes me think that it feels like too few. Its actually only 5 bytes of random (the first character is always zero). 2^40 is a pretty large number and I don't expect to get high coverage over that space any time soon. That being said, perception is important, so I should probably up it.

As for hot-linking; I have no business plan and just wanted to make something useful. I should probably figure that stuff out.
