Looks great!
I'm on Windows and I use https://getsharex.com/ which is open source too but only for Windows https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX
Will check Flameshot, if is good enough to match my experience with ShareX I will consider make the switch.
I prefer use tools that are available on Linux to increase the visibility of Linux! I believe that if we make more popular (by using and recommending) tools that are available in Windows/Mac _and_ Linux, more people will have no issues to switch to Linux (eg: VLC, Inkscape, Gimp, Krita, LibreOffice, Kdenlive).
I have Ubuntu as a secondary OS because sadly I'm hostage of Adobe CS :(
Will spread the word!
Now looking for the Windows installer on the download page https://flameshot.org/download/ to install it on my PC, I see that is not very handy, the download page links to the latest release page on GitHub who don't have the Windows installer yet https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/releases/tag/v0.8...
The previous version have it! https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/releases/tag/v0.8...
I think that an UX improvement for most users of the download page will be have the direct link to download the latest installer (.msi) instead of link to the latest release page on GitHub with all the binaries, witch can be confusing (besides that now is not even in the latest release). And put the link of latest release page on GitHub as a secondary link.
