Show HN: Glui – The simplest way to capture, annotate and share screenshots

I've been doing sort of a hand-made version of this for a while. It's a useful trick and one of my favorite quick-blogging techniques.

This doesn't have annotations, but it's a free alternative: http://grabbox.devsoft.no/

http://collabshot.com/ is free, does the same thing and supports Linux, Mac and Windows.

Neat, but $5? As an /introductory/ price? I don't have a Mac, but I can't imagine it's that troublesome to capture, annotate and share screenshots on one. I guess I'm just not the target market for this sort of thing.

You are right. It is not troublesome at all, and OSX comes with everything needed for this[1][2].

The 'introductory' price is too high, as I think this is a $0.99 type of app, imho. But experience has proven there is a market for everything.

There isn't another app that does it all (capture, annotate, quick share, host the screenshot) besides Skitch, which was bought by Evernote.

There is monosnap. Much better than Skitch.

Thanks... a link to an app I didn't yet know about was what I was hoping for when I posted my comment. :)

Wish I had found this before I paid for Glui! Oh well.

What's the difference between this and CloudApp set to "auto upload screenshot" ?

This is a genuine question. Am I missing something here?

CloudAPp doesn't allow you to annotate the screenshots though.

But it has robust backend infrastructure and it has been around for a while.

You know... trivial extra feature vs. maturity and reliability... it's not a hard choice. Besides there are CloudApp clients that support annotations if that's what someone really needs.

Also, You can install plugins, called "raindrops" to add a few neat features, or make your own plugins since they have a raindrops API.

And the free package covers almost everything that 'Glui' does, for free.

Www.jingproject.com is a great solution for this as well. One click to upload and url to the annotated screenshot is in the clipboard

Nice. Simple applications is what we need 90% of the time.
