Show HN: Glui – The simplest way to capture, annotate and share screenshots
- nathanpc 14y agoNice. Simple applications is what we need 90% of the time.
- imwhimsical 14y agoWhat's the difference between this and CloudApp set to "auto upload screenshot" ? This is a genuine question. Am I missing something here?
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- rdouble 14y agoCloudApp doesn't have annotations.
- tuananh 14y agoCloudAPp doesn't allow you to annotate the screenshots though.
- huhtenberg 14y agoBut it has robust backend infrastructure and it has been around for a while. You know... trivial extra feature vs. maturity and reliability... it's not a hard choice. Besides there are CloudApp clients that support annotations if that's what someone really needs.
- imwhimsical 14y agoAlso, You can install plugins, called "raindrops" to add a few neat features, or make your own plugins since they have a raindrops API. And the free package covers almost everything that 'Glui' does, for free.
- Skoofoo 14y agoNeat, but $5? As an /introductory/ price? I don't have a Mac, but I can't imagine it's that troublesome to capture, annotate and share screenshots on one. I guess I'm just not the target market for this sort of thing.
- davidcollantes 14y agoYou are right. It is not troublesome at all, and OSX comes with everything needed for this[1][2]. The 'introductory' price is too high, as I think this is a $0.99 type of app, imho. But experience has proven there is a market for everything.

- rdouble 14y agoThere isn't another app that does it all (capture, annotate, quick share, host the screenshot) besides Skitch, which was bought by Evernote.
- egze 14y agoThere is monosnap. Much better than Skitch. http://monosnap.com/ http://monosnap.com/
- rdouble 14y agoThanks... a link to an app I didn't yet know about was what I was hoping for when I posted my comment. :)
- toomuchtodo 14y agoWish I had found this before I paid for Glui! Oh well.
- WayneDB 14y agoWindows users get Greenshot for free.
- MortenK 14y agoWww.jingproject.com is a great solution for this as well. One click to upload and url to the annotated screenshot is in the clipboard
- shortformblog 14y agoI've been doing sort of a hand-made version of this for a while. It's a useful trick and one of my favorite quick-blogging techniques. This doesn't have annotations, but it's a free alternative: http://grabbox.devsoft.no/ http://grabbox.devsoft.no/
