You have to 'copy' all functionality of

https://app.prntscr.com/

1. NATIVE Application for MAC or Windows

2. click on Printscrn button and auto upload.

3. Edit on screenshot mode, TEXT, FONT, Squares, ARROWS, etc

4. Share with small links.

5. Share with media (this is the unique task you seems to want to acomplish)

6. SUPPORT VIDEO recording.

7. Private and shared storage.

9. VOICE recording for screenshots or video.

10. GROUP set of screenshots or videos.

Try app.prntscr.com (I dont work there, however as company we use this as basic tool)

Pros:

None, awful!

Cons:

Uploading manually like in the 90's

Your comment is not helping in any way. Could you please explain what's "awful"?

You make Product Hunt worse

Lightshot looks horrible. It app looks clunky and slow and uploaded images appear to have ads plastered all over the page. You ought to give CloudApp a try. It's lightyears better than Lightshot.

Hello Product Hunt👋 Doing my very first product launch today.😱 I regularly want to share what I've worked on with others on Twitter or Slack/Telegram. However, sharing a simple screenshot always was a bit too bland for my taste... I wanted to make it look better. Give it a background, put it in a fake window with some shadows etc. You can do this in Photoshop or Sketch with some templates but that takes a lot of time if you just quickly want to share something with friends or coworkers. That's why I build Screely. With Screely you can instantly generate a beautiful image from a simple screenshot without needing to dive into Photoshop or Sketch first. Upload an image, choose your background color and hit that download button so you can share it with others. I have many more features I want to add like gradient backgrounds, ability to generate an image without the fake window, adjusting the padding and size and much more customization options. But I first wanted to ship the MVP and get some feedback from others and hear their opinions. PS. I only started to learn programming pretty recently so if you find a bug or something weird. Let me know and I'll try to fix it as fast as possible.

A Screely Chrome extension that allows me to take the screenshot of the current tab and automatically opens Screely in a new tab would be super dope.
Jurn

@travis_johnson1 That would be a cool feature! adding it to the list of potential ideas for the future :) EDIT: Got so many requests for a Chrome extension that I've decided to build one! stay tuned :)
Pascal Briod
@travis_johnson1 @jurn_w I agree, this is what this product needs to be really useful!

@travis_johnson1 @pbriod It has been requested so often today that I'm going to build one :D

A really cool feature of this would be the ability to make them diagonal like they do on Behance images. Oh and and eyedropper tool to pick the colour of a part of the screenshot. Really cool though. I am always sharing screenshots in emails as I do the "how to" guides for new products and features in our company, and this will be a great addition. I like the way when you choose white, it adds a shadow around the image.
Jurn
Maker
@productpearson Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it! You're actually not the first person to suggest an eyedropper tool to pick a colour from the screenshot so I'm definitely putting this on the product roadmap. Do you mean something like this for a diagonal background? https://www.behance.net/gallery/...
Product Pearson
@jurn_w I'm struggling to find an example now, as Behance seems to have changed how they do things, which is understandable. Basically it was a flat screenshot, but diagonal so that you could see more of the screenshot in portrait, so like, say I want to share a screenshot of a webpage, to see anything under the fold, it would ideally be diagonal so you can see more of the image. This is the closest example I could find: Sorry if that's not a very good example, haha.
Jurn
Maker
@productpearson ah, now I understand! Difficult to really look at the design of the page this way because you can't read most of it but does give a good feel for the lay-out of a full page. Will keep this in mind, thanks for your input!
Product Pearson
@jurn_w Yeh sorry it's not the best example. There have been times where I've tried to show in a landscape 1920x1080 image how a website looks, but half the page is missing and I have to send two screenshots or merge them together as a PDF.

This can be the product that saves Dribbble.

Incredible job @jurn_w What is in your stack? How did you stay motivated to finish your first launch? It looks like you have been building it for a month... Dope🚬
Jurn
Maker
@dredurr Thank you Deandre! My stack is full Javascript. Plain javascript (no frameworks) on the front-end, NodeJS for back-end development. Motivation has never been a problem for me. I make something a habit that I do every day and I slowly get to where I want to go. You can see that some days the tasks that I did were very minor. But even working on it for 10 minutes is better than not working on it at all. Also don't try to make the MVP perfect. Strip out as many extra features as possible and launch fast so you can get feedback from users and improve your product with their feedback
Dre Durr💡
@jurn_w Wow! No frameworks for your landing page. I am even more impressed :-)
Chris Messina
Launching soon!
@jurn_w nice work! Skitch used to do this when snapping windows, but no more. It'd be cool if you made a macOS/native Electron version of this so that the screenshot could be generated locally without having to do a server roundtrip.
Jurn
Maker
@chrismessina Thanks Chris! I've had quite a few requests for a native app/browser extension/CL app/API. It looks like the core issue is easier integration into one's workflow so I am definitely going to focus on development in this area. Wether that will be a native app or one of the other solutions, I am not sure yet.

Thanks for building this Jurn, I'll definitely use it to show my progress and my done tasks.

Pros:

A good tool to highlight your screenshot & simple to use.

Cons:

none

Great project. Waiting for gradient and image backgrounds. Only one note, after download image, quality became worse.
Jurn
Maker
@nikolay_siabrenko Hi Nikolay, thanks for your feedback! I've found the issue and am currently working on a fix. Will let you know when the fix is live!
Sanmaya Kumar Dhal
Great app! Really needed. But I mostly like it either in transparent background or with the box-shadow off for certain use cases. Can you let me know if you are planning to do so and if yes, when? All the best (y) Shared with my team already :D
Jurn
Maker
@sanmaya_kumar_dhal Hi Sanmaya, thanks for your feedback! There are definitely more customization options coming in the future, will keep your suggestions in mind.
Dan Webb
Great work! One feature you could consider adding to the list which I think would compliment the current functionality is screenshot annotations that look good. Most of the time default screenshot annotation tools don't look that great.
Jurn
Maker
@dan_webb Thank you Dan! I had not thought of adding annotations before, will add it to the list of possible future ideas.
Csaba Kissi
Great idea, it just need some improvement

@csaba_kissi Thank you! This is just the MVP, will be adding a lot more features and refining it in the coming months.

Michael Folling
Love this! I would like to see the option to create a transparent background
Jurn
Maker
@michaelfolling Thank you! You are not the first person to suggest adding a transparent background so I will work on adding this in the near future.
Michael Folling
@jurn_w Maybe add an option to choose from other borders too. If you like at the groovehq.com blog all of the screenshots in their blog have the same consistent look, here's an example: https://cl.ly/rcpv I would love an easy way to be able to do something similar

@michaelfolling will keep this idea in mind for future development!
Michael Hood
Please, please, please make a Chrome extension.

@michael_hood I have lost count of the amount of people requesting this, so I guess I have no choice... It's coming! :)

I like that the image is not stored on a server.

Pros:

Handy when I want to share a nice screenshot quickly.

Cons:

None so far.

Works well. Would be useful to have the option to drop it into an unsplash image which shows the screenshot on a screen in situ. e.g. on a macbook or iphone.

@tobyberesford Thanks for your feedback Toby! image backgrounds, both custom and via Unsplash, or on the product roadmap. No plans for adding product mock-ups in the near future but I like the idea!
