Please give me your feedback! I had zero experience with webdev when I made this, but now I feel much more confident. Snaggy uses S3 and Cloudfront, and deletions are permanent, if that's a concern. Also, I use the user-agent for browser detection, which I realize now is not very reliable. I need better browser/OS support and I'd like to improve the editor.
My interest in web development has increased over the past through years, so simple effective tools like this appeal to me.
I use it on a regular basis now so thanks for that :)
Snaggy needs to use a Java applet to read your clipboard.
(sorry, couldn't resist…)
You can save a screenshot to the Desktop, and optionally edit it before uploading, by not holding down Control, with both the 3 and 4 shortcuts.
This is what I'm getting when I try that: http://i.imgur.com/l8YKs.png
"It looks like you are using Firefox 17.0. Snaggy needs to use a Java applet to operate unless you are running Firefox version 4 or higher. Consider updating Firefox."
I have FF 17, with no JAVA.

It uploads to your own s3 bucket (https for both uploads and downloads). I set up a global hotkey (cmd-4) using Alfred.
I have a use-case where users are creating charts in Excel and want to paste them into a HTML textarea and WYSIWYG editor that supported paste of images from the clipboard would be awesome. Thanks
It's very useful when composing in gmail.
Other than that, all of my designer friends will love it!
Just command+shift+4 and it transfers it to my public folder with a link in my clipboard.
However there already are some links on HN which leads to reddit style discussion, like the recent link to the "Great HN parody". I think it may be okay from time to time as long as it doesn't flood the discussion.
