I am trying to figure out what's the value of this additional fake window around the screenshot.
Could you describe any valid use case, please?

#52Congratulations on the release. In "Coming Soon", do the lines with strikethrough mean that the feature has been implemented or removed from the plans?
Thank you! The strikethrough means the feature has been implemented and I'm working on the next one.
You could add "(done!)" after those, perhaps in a different color.

#53On mac: + + then pressing will allow you to select a window for screenshot which includes the window border, title, and transparent shadow.
Not everyone uses Mac & some people prefer to have better looking screenshots from their Windows PCs or Linux Distros :)

I was thinking the same, but I think it's mainly for prototyping. You have a design that will eventually end up inside a window frame, and you want to show how it might look, before it's actually implemented. I hope that's the purpose.

A green tick or similar alongside each item (in addition to the strikethrough, I think) would probably convey positivity less ambiguously. (FWIW, I understood it to mean 'feature has been implemented', but that's clearly not everyone's experience!)

#56I might be old school but it always seems very dubious for me to rely on a web server controled by who the f... know for such basic task that can be done more efficiently offline. And also why is it free? Can we be sure the service won’t store every image send? Would be a nice way to gather free real word training example for a neural network so it can learn what frame contain nothing useful and what frame contain lo…
They say nothing is sent to the server, and why lie when it's so easy to check if they do or not.
It isn't for a typical user (although they probably won't care, even if they should). It would be nice if browser developers started thinking about this if — as I hope — more functionality gets pushed to the client-side, like this.

#57Have you thought about integrating with Sharex?

#58This looks like a great idea, so good work. Looking forward to seeing how it develops in the future. Tangentially, though, I'd love to know how such a simple, half-functional, and clearly proof-of-concept site can garner almost a thousand upvotes on ProductHunt?! I've submitted substantially more complex (and finished) products in the past that have only gotten 5-40 upvotes and like 2 comments a pop. Is it a matter o…

I totally agree. I know there's a bitchy comment on the PH about it 'not doing enough', but I think that's ridiculous: your tool is designed to solve one specific task, and it appears to do that very well, so please concentrate on small, incremental polish rather than totally changing the nature of it!

#60Earlier quoted context omitted.
It has definitely not been disabled! Could you tell me what browser and OS you are using?
Happening here too; on Firefox/Win10. Something that seems unrelated is that, in your drawWindow function you seem to be assigning an onload handler and then immediately overwriting it with a different onload handler. This is not really the problem, but I mention it just so you know. Now, the actual problem seems to be there's a long standing bug in Firefox where it won't draw SVG to neither canvas nor Image elements…
Thank you for letting me know and also looking into it!!
Was able to quickly fix this issue thanks to you! I've just pushed the fix to production so it should be fixed now. Would you mind testing it one more time to check if it works?
