Hey Producthunters!
Whether you're a founder, product manager, designer or you work at support, it’s safe to assume screenshots play a big part in the way you communicate.
When you notice a small bug or see something interesting online, using screenshots just make more sense than using text.
But screenshots suck for 3 main reasons:
1. Editing: Adding text, arrows, shapes or simply Emojis 😛🙊😱 can be a real pain.
2. Saving: Screenshots are always saved in weird places like your desktop, leading to what we call desktop flooding
3. Context: They come with little context, making it hard to know exactly where the screenshot was taken
Like many modern teams, we spend our days in Trello, Slack & Github. We want visual bugs in Trello, design ideas in Slack, and developments issues in Github.
And that’s what Marker is about.
It’s a Chrome extension that lets you send badass screenshots with emojis to places like Trello, Slack and Github, so that your teammates can find them when they need them!
Curious to hear your feedback!

ps: Thanks a lot @bramk for the hunt :)
@garygaspar@bramk Nice! My current workflow for this is: CMD+SHIFT+4 --> saves automatically to Dropbox (synced to my Mac) --> find file in Finder, open in Preview --> annotate, rename and save --> drag into Trello card, so this seems like it'll save me a bunch of time! One thing it doesn't seem to do though is to change the filename / title of the screenshot; this is useful when there are multiple images in a Trello card that I need to refer to in a comment or description
@garygaspar Nice! I've been using Skitch (bought by evernote at some point) to do this kind of annotation for the past 11 years but these integration options make it even easier. Great find, will try!

@davidvb@garygaspar that, and the oh so annoying buy-in for evernote makes this one a MUST have!

@garygaspar Looks good Gary - I developed a Screenshot tool that integrates with Trello recently called Tracey Bug Cop - www.traceybugcop.com - yours is way more advanced though! Well Done.
@uxandrew Not familiar with them, but from what I understand from their website, you can't really save directly to Slack or Trello, which can be pretty useful for communications purposes. Also, every screenshots sent to Slack, Trello, Github and Jira via Marker all come with the referring URL, so your team can quickly access the original URL. We made some quick videos of all features on the home page at https://getmarker.io/ . As a Monosnap user, do you see the added value of Marker?

@garygaspar It's drag/drop to anywhere I want...Slack, Trello... We've all been using it for a long time and it's really great....
@matijaabicic Thanks a lot Matija! Let me know if you have any feedback here :)

I have been using Marker for a while and to me the simple but top USP is that it keeps track of the URL where you took the screenshot, I haven't found any other program that does this! That's so useful when hunting for UX ideas: you can go back to the same websites where there was once something you found interesting to see if things have evolved.
Also @garygaspar is really looking forward to listen to customer feedback, he implemented my feedback within one week when I emailed him the first time.
@giacopate Thanks for sharing your ideas with us. It is certainly something we can do. I've added to the product roadmap and we'll let you know when it's live :)
@giacopate Done! We just pushed a new version. If you can't see it, you can try forcing the automatic update in your extension panel :) Let me know your feedback. Cheers

This easily takes care of 98% of the screen capturing I need to do. Tools are intuitive and simple and sharing with links is super easy.
Thanks for creating this!
