ScreenB.in, short URLs for screenshots
I've been looking for an app like this for quite a while to no avail, so I decided to create it.
ScreenBin (screenb.in) lets you paste a screenshot from your clipboard directly into your browser (Chrome only) and instantly receive a short URL to your screenshot. The designer on my dev team has demanded this for a couple of weeks, and I only recently found the time to make it at a hackathon I attended.
This is my first time posting to Hacker News and my first live open source product so I'm too sure what to expect, but would love any feedback on the app and suggestions for features and improvements.
Todo's:
- Google Drive support, so I don't have to host all the images!
- some UI for cropping (but that might get in the way of the simplicity)
Fun facts:
- It's named after its spiritual predecessor (which was a downloadable application found at screenbin.org).
- Only works on Chrome as it allows me to extract the clipboard data. Hopefully other browsers adjust their security standards in the near future.
