I like the concept. A lot. It would be 100x more useful if you added a set of tools at the right that emulate Skitch, so you could mark up a screenshot and then merge the edits into a new image. I would probably stop using Skitch immediately. Also - if you're going to use KISSinsights to ask your users questions, ask a meaningful question. The current question is pretty obnoxious. Just my $.02

Hey wow thanks for the feedback, appreciate that a lot. Hacker News folk just rock! Interesting idea RE: skitch, certainly worth some consideration - I had considered annotations at least, and will take the idea very seriously. RE: KISSinsights, I’m a bit of an amateur really so I just used the recommended free questions to get started with. But point taken :-)

    Yeah, sorry that was another past hack :-) that’s kinda moved over to it’s new experiment at http://boardcast.it http://boardcast.it And the app was done in (the apparently uncool :-) Java - it was just a quick hack because I noticed that snapshot services were cluttered and complicated and most folk just want a simple full page image. Anyway it was written today out of some code used in http://boardcast.it http://boardcast.it.

Interesting that you'd switch from Skitch if it had that feature set. I can't imagine a scenario where I'd ever prefer to hit, from a page I'd like a screenshot of: > cmd+l, cmd+c, cmd+t, sna, <down-arrow>, enter, tab, cmd+v, enter, right click generated image, copy link As opposed to (skitch keybinds): > cmd+shift+5, click once in my browser window, click once on share link Out of curiosity, what is it that makes the web-based workflow more appealing to you as a user?

  Making a snapito bookmarklet seems trivial. Here, have one: javascript:window.location=%22http://snapito.com/?url=%22+encodeURIComponent(document.location) Given such a bookmarklet, the workflow becomes: click bookmarklet, click share link.

  It's more the annotation/cropping feature set that would make it valuable. Currently to mark up a site, I need to go to that site, open skitch, take the snapshot, then edit it in skitch, then save. Then attach it to a gmail message and send (or upload to dropbox and send the link). If there was a cloud solution that could do all of this, and provide a link that I could just send someone - it's just so much easier.
