Flameshot was posted on here a couple days ago. I always used that for documentation and it works very well.

Was the little animated gifs the end results? Looks pretty sick if it is.

Wow — amazing if it makes animated gifs - I am always doing this manual!

I went through the tutorial, but the thing it generated at the end (that I couldn't scroll though) looked like a document (think Word or a web page)? Is there a sample result? Couldn't find anything on the page. This looks like Windows Steps Recorder† for a web page / web app? †https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/record-steps-to-reproduce-a-problem-46582a9b-620f-2e36-00c9-04e25d784e47 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/record-steps-to-...

The thing I most wanted to see was a real example of documentation created using this tool, but I couldn't find that from scanning through the home page.

This is a great project, very useful! One comment is that if you try to export a PDF containing unicode characters you'll get garbage. Here's a sample I created: https://app.tango.us/app/workflow/9e4b9623-3bd3-4209-8a18-e37c574002bf https://app.tango.us/app/workflow/9e4b9623-3bd3-4209-8a18-e3... If you export this to PDF you won't see the greek characters anymore :(

Pixelated blurring is I’m sure prettier than black rectangles, but it carries the potential to cause major legal pain to whomever implements it as a way to “hide” sensitive information.

  Easy fix: take a dark color sample and a light color sample from within the rectangle, fill with randomized solid noise, pixelize blur, then gradient map with the color samples.

We've recently been using this at work, and it's seriously amazing.

Does it work with desktop apps? I couldn't parse this info among all the marketing babble.

  No, it only works on web apps and you have to use Chrome :(
