dschobel,
You are right that it's possible to drag and drop media into a web browser and mark things up, but a web based implementation would miss out a ton of key benefits a native app can provide, in terms of uninterrupted flow and time savings.
Here's a workflow using Storyteller:
1. Take multiple, consecutive screenshots (faster, with a shortcut key)
2. Immediately view your screenshots for annotation/re-arrangement/description
3. Click 'Create Story'
4. Get URL of new story (copied to your clipboard automatically), ready to paste anywhere
With it, you'll be able to skip mundane steps like:
- Locating where/which screenshot files to work with
- Juggling between local files to open for annotation (unnecessary decisions get painful after lots of repetition)
- Opening a browser window (Storyteller pops up when you need it)
- Locating the files to upload
- Waiting for the story to finish creating and copying the URL manually
- Closing the browser window/tab
I personally like the speed and general smoothness of a native app too.
I have been uploading step-by-step screenshots quite a bit to reply my customers for a previous product of mine called Freshlog, a tool that helps create screenshot-attached documents in project management services like Basecamp and issue trackers like Unfuddle, Github etc (http://freshlog.com http://freshlog.com).
My customers have found my step-by-step screenshot walkthroughs very helpful and it has always been a pleasure to go the extra mile to make these for them.
However, after doing this many, many times a day, it can get very time consuming and tiring, so I made Storyteller. :)
