Hi guys,

I came across this post on super easy screenshot sharing:

http://help.lighthouseapp.com/discussions/suggestions/80-super-easy-screenshot-sharing-think-skitch

Commenting has been disabled for that thread so I've started a new one here.

I'm working on Freshlog, a screenshot collaboration tool specially tailored for agile developers and designers. It's like Skitch, but focusing on tight integration with issue trackers like Lighthouseapp, further improving the workflow from where Skitch left off.

Check out the demo video:

Let me know what you think! :)

   Nice work! That's really cool to be able to file tickets right into ticket-trackers.

   I'm excited to try out the beta.

   Thanks!

   Just enter your email on the front page to request for a private beta account and I'll approve your request :)

   I've gotten quite a good number of folks signing up for the private beta, that's mighty encouraging!

   I've also posted about Freshlog in the Unfuddle forums, where Joshua Frappier, founder of Unfuddle, liked my demo too:

   Here's a screenshot, Skitch style:

   

   I hope you wouldn't mind the cross posting on both sites :)

   How do you guys like Freshlog so far? I'd really like to know what you think!

   Do you have a support/feedback area we can send our findings to? I didn't see a contact place at first glance on your website.

   Edit: I've decided not to go with GetSatisfaction, but remain with UserVoice in the meantime, until I try out Tender:

   I just signed up for an account at GetSatisfaction:

   haha...I was going to suggest you use our product, http://tenderapp.com -- I can hook you up with an account if you wanted to take that road. I personally find it less of a hassle than GetSat.

   Cool! I would love to try out Tender!

   Can you hook me up with an account?

   If you go ahead and register your Tender account and let me know the account name, I'll get it setup later tonight. You'll be on an unlimited trial though, so you're good to go ahead and set things up right after you register it.

    For all you Skitch fans who love Skitch for its annotation tools (I love Skitch too!), here’s an update:

    Annotate with Skitch then send your edited screenshot to Freshlog with Shortcut keys, no dragging involved!

    Also, check out my uservoice page, I’ve got a couple of people actively participating in feedback on what features they’d like to see in Freshlog:

    http://freshlog.uservoice.com

    Will: I've decided to stick with UserVoice at the moment since there's already active discussions happening there. However I really like Tender's knowledge base capability, something that Uservoice is lacking, so I might explore migrating to Tender in future.

    That's cool. I'll try to give some feedback soon. I've been having some issues with it returning a list of all my projects.

    I realized that for projects that have API tokens setup, they don't appear in the GET /projects.xml if you authenticate via username/password.

    However, they do once you authenticate via the api token.

    Am I missing anything?

    You can auth with your Lighthouse token under the Token tab:

    

    Watch it in action:
