One of our users, Matt Varone (aka: sksmatt), wrote a ScrnShots Plugin For Wordpress!
It boasts easy setup and configuration via an admin panel, as well as cache support, “allowing you to save thumbnails on your own server.”
The cache support is pretty freaking cool, so check this nice little tool out!
Thanks Matt!
Tonight at 9pm Pacific Standard Time, we will be upgrading a few peices of the ScrnShots infrastructure. While we don’t plan on having any major outages, you can expect ScrnShots to be partially available for 15 - 30 minutes. Thanks for your understanding and keep posting all the great screenshots.
Desktop Integration: these two words have been floating around our office a lot in the last few weeks, and now that we have officially released ScrnShots Desktop, they have finally become a reality!
Our hope is that ScrnShots Desktop will eliminate the barriers to uploading and sharing your screenshots, making the process of taking and uploading screenshots much easier and faster.
Here are the features:
This is a beta release, so please post any feedback or bugs to our Forums. We have lots more functionality in the works for both desktop apps and look forward to getting them up to a 1.0 release with your help!
Search ScrnShots
For all you inspiration hunter and gatherers out there, you can now search ScrnShots for inspiration!
You can search according to the following criteria:
Public API
This one’s for the developers. We have released the beta version of our Public API.
If you want to create your own tool to integrate with ScrnShots, this documentation contains the info that you will need.
Currently, we are still working on the full API for ScrnShots.com. However, any API methods that are documented within this document will be considered to be stable and will be supported by ScrnShots.
Firefox Plugin Coming Soon!
We are going to be releasing a Firefox Plugin in the very near future!
Check back religiously for the most recent news and features.
Greg and I will be “showing off” ScrnShots at Launch Party Vancouver tomorrow!
“Launch Party Vancouver is a lively mixer for the city’s brightest entrepreneurs, tech junkies, and bloggers, who are doing it, have done it or want to make their ideas happen. The goal of the event is to connect BC’s growing community of Internet and new media leaders with investors and other trailblazers across Canada and abroad.”
If you are in the Vancouver area, we’d love to meet you and have a chat.5:30pm - 9:00pm @ The Republic, 958 Granville Street Vancouver, BC
I know it’s only day 2, but we’ve already added a few new features!
Although small, they are worth noting:
First, on profile pages you can now view recent activity “on you” and “by you”.
Also, within days we will be launching a “logged-in” dashboard homepage that will allow you too see an aggregated list of all your and your contacts’ activity on ScrnShots.
Second, you can now subscribe to an RSS feed of your contacts uploads. No more snooping around the site to see what your contacts are doing, you can get it right from your cozy RSS reader. To subscribe to the feed go to your profile page and click the big RSS icon beside the contacts count on the left side.
Finally, we’ve heard your pleas for desktop integration, and we want you to know that we are planning to launch it on Tuesday, May 20. If you want to have a sneak peek, check out this earlier post. More details to come soon!
Hey friends,
We’re very happy to announce that ScrnShots has released to the public! It’s been a long time coming, and we would like to thank you all for being so patient and supportive.
You can signup for an account right now.
Here’s some of the features that you can look forward to:
If you find ScrnShots useful, or know someone who would, please pass it on to others! We have tried to make it super-easy for you, by including HTML embed tags beside every screenshot.
If you have any suggestions or questions, please feel free to voice them here.
We are happy to introduce some new features that we have added to the profile pages. They will be implemented on Tuesday, for the public release.
The first major change is the sidebar on user profile pages which now features quick access to user stats and RSS feeds. It will also be extremely easy to add users as contacts as you can see by the big “Add As Contact” button.
And the other section that we will be adding to the profile pages is the recent activity section:
The recent activity will showcase what you’ve been up to. Within the next week it will also include activity that has been done on your items. What do you think of the additions? Feedback? Thoughts?
Its official, ScrnShots.com will be launching to the public on May 6, 2008 at 10:00am PST.
At launch, ScrnShots.com will be completely free. Users will be able to upload unlimited screenshots to the system at no cost. On June 6, 2008 we will launch our ScrnShots PRO (paid) accounts which will include private functionality (ie: private screenshots, private groups) and unlimited screenshot uploads. At that time, basic accounts will be given a monthly cap on the number of allowed screenshot uploads. The cap will be high and won’t affect any screenshots previously uploaded to the system. Although we haven’t confirmed a final price structure for the PRO accounts, they will be inline with other image hosting services. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to express them in the comments section.
On top of what’s already on the site, we’re adding a few new features for the launch. These include:
We’re super excited to get more users on the system and start growing the design community at ScrnShots.com.
Hello ScrnShots people,
I would like to introduce myself: my name is Derek Kehler. I am “technically” not new to the ScrnShots team, but I am now “officially” part of the team. I will be acting as the Co-founder and Chief Marketing Wizard, so needless to say, you will be seeing a lot of me!
ScrnShots will be open to the public within the next few weeks, and I am extremely excited to see where you guys will take it!
We sent out a very short survey to the beta list yesterday and got lots of excellent responses. Thanks to everyone who filled it out! We’re going keep the survey open for another 24hrs, so if you haven’t done it yet, please visit the ScrnShots Pre-Release Survey to participate. Thanks for your help!
