Looks super useful. I'm all for eliminating steps in typical workflows. I've never been at a company that used Dropbox so didn't even know it existed.


This is really cool. I can see how the e2e encryption could be super valuable. Thanks for suggesting!


Another nice feature about it is that you can set time limits or number of downloads. So you can upload something and not feel like it will be on the internet "forever".


Interesting. It looks like it was just the less popular option. https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2019/01/24/clarifyin...


Hey Jowsie! Yes, currently the files are hosted on just on a public s3 bucket, so definitely not the most secure, but maybe something to add in the future.

I haven't heard of ShareX so will check that out and definitely look into a self-hosted option.


I made this extension out of a frustration from working with my friend, sending screenshots without linking to the article (or design) where it came from. Screenshot HQ solved this by pulling the URL when the screenshot was taken.

In order to mimic our workflow as much as possible, it uses the open graph social html tags to load the screenshot directly on the page in Slack.

We're thinking about adding comment capabilities), among other features (i.e. automatically rendering a mobile, tablet, and desktop screenshot, immediately making the background transparent etc.) and would love any thoughts.


For the specific use of sharing on Slack, one simple way on a Mac is Command-Control-Shift-4, which saves the screenshot image to the clipboard. You can then paste that into Slack.


I do the same on Ubuntu: ctrl+shift+PrntScr to screenshot part of your screen to your clipboard.


It would be awesome if we can draw annotations (arrow, circle etc).


I like this a lot. I often find myself too "behind" on the podcasts that I like to listen to and often don't have the time to sit through and listen to all of them.

I'm down to try it out. Maybe you and I like similar things


Hey HN,

I built caffeinator https://www.caffeinator.co/ as a side project around finding/discovering new coffee shops as a fun way to explore my neighborhood and go for a walk.

We send a text at your desired frequency (daily to weekly) with a coffee shop near you. Honestly, there's nothing different here then going to to google maps/yelp, searching for a cafe, then discovering it that way, I'm just lazy and I felt like there were too many choices.

It's definitely in an early stage, but would love any feedback. Surprisingly, someone picked it up on Nextdoor and wrote an article https://missionlocal.org/2020/01/caffeinator/

Would love your feedback/suggestions
