And not just use a screen snipping tool? Not sure I get it.

    Assign a shortcut key to it, then it's a keypress plus a button click.
    • mastazi 5y ago
      yes but then you have to share both the picture and the code... or maybe I don't understand what you mean
      • CRConrad 5y ago
        Yup, true, I was thinking only pic.

  Arguably it's more aesthetic than most editors.

  I think the benefit is consistency. If you need to share multiple pictures of code on Twitter or something, you won’t want to spend the time resizing your window and scrolling text into position just so. I don’t think the target audience is people who need a quick one-off screenshot

  It can generate an SVG image so it scales well on all devices (from cheap android phones to 5K Apple displays to Times Square billboards). There's one, can you copy text from an SVG image posted on twitter or do they convert it to PNG themselves?

    You can't select text from an SVG embedded as an image. Twitter is unlikely to include a multi-MiB SVG directly in the DOM for your copying convenience.
