I wish ShareX was available on Linux https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX

ShareX (win) > CleanShot (mac, paid) > Fireshot

just video is waaay better in cleanshot than it is in shareX (and a bit simpler to set up)

I agree. ShareX for Windows is flawless in my opinion.

  • it by default uploads screenshots to public imgur, which was surprising and a no go for corporate setting, you can change that in setting, but it is still wants too do too many things

    • I'm vaguely involved w/ ShareX, so take this however you want.

      It doesn't as of a recent update (due to continued stability issues at Imgur). The default behavior is to not upload anymore.

      Additionally ShareX pops up a big red warning telling you that you're about to upload. There are some forks (see: ShareNot) that explicitly remove any uploading, but by default there is a registry key, a setting, and a big warning that you can enable that disables uploading.

    • I always used my own FTP provider with my own URL. So they always looked like share.example.com/15udn18.jpg

      Embeddable as well. Anyone with a website should use this method so they can maximize the use of their hosting.
