Hi folks, just noticed there's no login form on ScrnShots front page so if you wanna login with browser's password manager you have to navigate to login page what is not comfortable though.

Here's my UserJS for Opera and Firefox (with Greasemonkey addon) to enable form autofill (by password manager) on ScrnShots front page. Simply remember your login data on login page. Then you will be able to use your password manager directly on front.

Any comments are welcome ;)

I think Shup (http://shup.com) should add support for Scrnshots, it would be quite a good complement to the site and looks like it has more features than the default Windows uploader.

Check out how easy it is to whip up a screenshot using Shup:

Anyway, just thought I'd ping you while I work on implementing the idea. Might be the start of something neat =)

I would love to have the ability to tag other users screenshots. You can see this type of functionality at Vimeo, and it works great. I see many users not using descriptions and tags and I think it's a shame.

I'm thinking the login cookie should last a little longer. Maybe it's just me? But I'm seeing it last only about a day. How about a month or so?

First, congrats on your product, looking great and got awesome potential. I think you guys should look at Skitch very carefully. Some of the things that make me orgasmic about Skitch:

- private screenshots
- keyboard shortcuts
- cache/history of taken screenshots
- ability to send urls to screenshots with one-click (tinyurl style)
- auto naming of the screenshot based on window title
- possible subscription model (I would pay for a good screenshot service fo sho)

I am totally up for giving more feedback and look forward to seeing this local baby grow (I am in vancouver too)

when uploading a screenshot, it should be possible to crop the image (with zoom possible).

it's possible to use javascript to have more/less file selection widgets on upload page.

example below - admin panel of jabber-based polish blogging platform - JoggerPL.

albums are very useful and can deal with multiple screenshot topics. tags give more concrete information and doesn't deal right with screenshot clutter.

look at newest polish photo gallery:


* create album
* upload directly
* upload to selected album

flickr and zooomr allow describing areas of image.

that's very useful feature thanks to you can decrease image description size but you still give concrete informations

Just add RSS feeds for all your main categories on site

external links should open in new window! (ie. source website link)

good or bad?

Uploading screen shots is a great idea but wouldn't it be easier for the users to be able to upload instantly after screen-shoting instead of needing to save the sshots and then uploading them. For example, if I surf the net on some else's computer and want to share or tag some sshots on your site and share them. I would have to save them on his computer, upload and delete them.
If I could directly upload or paste the sshots from the pastboard it would be faster and easier for everyone. More then that, if the computer I use doesn't have photoshop or any photo editing program I couldn't even save it in the supported formats. I could alse be simpler from those who have no idea how to edit images.

Just an idea of course ...

Like Flickr, there's really no reason why you should be asking for usernames and passwords in your app, or in your API.

Please consider using OAuth instead:

Greg - I was looking at the screencast for your uploading tool and think it's done pretty well.

Just a thought - the URL field could be auto-populated if we are capturing a web page. And for the tags, it could fetch suggestions from del.icio.us if people have already saved that page on del.icio.us before.

Cheers & good luck.

I think scrnshots should have alt and title attribute in img tag because my website is XHTML 1.0 Transitional, require the alt attribute for default.
