Ask HN: How do you share screenshots?

13 points by C0x ↗ HN
Here is my startup http://floomby.com. Floomby captures and shares screenshots. What tools do you use to share screenshots?

Nice tool, it's for win but works on linux+wine even. Good luck!

Alt+Print Screen, paste to public Dropbox folder (Directory Opus supports screenshot paste), right click->copy public link

i use kam studio and SnagIT . will try your tool too

Either skitch, or just Shift-Ctrl-Cmd-4 and paste into an iChat window.

Same here, but the Ctrl isn't required.

It is if you want to put the screenshot in the clipboard rather than on the Desktop.

It looks like the Wikipedia article about your company was taken down already.

Sep 4, 2008 ... Floomby - internet service for sharing screenshots and files on the web. It was developed by Alexander Katasonov and Andrey Ivanichenko.

Do you have any relation to the individual posting in this thread as ivankuznetsov?

I use Jing: http://www.jingproject.com/

The way it works is really nice, it is easy to capture and share. Unfortunately the application is a bit too heavy for my laptop (1 gig memory etc). Starts really slow and takes up too much of memory.

I agree, it is too heavy and requires .NET Framework 3.0.

Jing not work for me on Windows XP SP2 + .Net 3.0 :(

I love it because it can upload to my own FTP and paste links from my own site which is often faster than screencast.com for my audience.

Startup time really sucks, though. But once it's running, I'm super, super pleased with it.

It would be good if the application shows a preview of screen capture before uploading

I am currently using Snagit

Definitely Skitch. Skitch is amazing.

I use scrot and then upload the resulting screenshot to my slice.

Skitch, ScreenSteps, and another one I forget that starts with P, and its a whole page capture tool on the mac.

I use GrabUp (http://grabup.com). It's much quicker than skitch but it has a stripped down feature set.

I have a little bash script I use on OS X:

screencapture -x screen.png && scp screen.png myserver:www

Snapz Pro X for screenshots and department web site or email to share.
