Love it! I'd like to request two things if possible:
1) a zoomed preview when selecting the area to capture
2) a shortcut (like Cmd+C) when selecting an area to copy the hex color under the mouse cursor
I joined Zapier just over 6 months ago and reluctantly installed Zappy. I was a die-hard Skitch user for years so wasn't thrilled at the prospect of switching tools. Within about a week (no joke), I was totally sold. Zappy is excellent (and there's room for improvement—especially when it gets supercharged with connections to Zapier for image-first automations).
A few pro tips: take a screenshot, then press cmd+c to just copy the image itself to your clipboard for easy pasting. If you prefer to share images as links (and you have a pro account), you can press enter and it'll upload to S3 then give you a shareable link. Personally, I prefer copying the image (almost always) and only use the link itself if I'm linking off some text.
Pro tip #2: learn the keyboard shortcuts (there's like 5 + colors). Super easy and handy to snap a shot, add an arrow, add some text, cmd+c to copy, and voila.
Pro tip #3: it takes videos/GIFs! So. Fast... and easy for quick screen shares.
As a student of startups, I always worry about our small team stretching too thin... but I'm optimistic about us sharing Zappy because it's so handy and now I can use it on my personal laptop too 🤞

@mirkokiefer@mikeknoop I'm not a Mac user, but this is an incredible and useful way to capture your screen. Well done. cc @zapier

Handy. Will you include system audio as well at some point?
@swaycopy sort of, but it requires being crafty. Zappy has a feature that let's you "pin" multiple captures as floating windows -- this lets you reposition parts of the screen that normally are not next to each other. You can then take another screenshot of the mashup.
It's imperfect if you want to screenshot an entire webpage because your screen size is still the limiting factor. We'll consider how to address this. Good feedback!

@mikeknoop Awesome. There are tools that do this, but they always seem to be a little janky. Would be great to have this ability in a tool that is as polished as Zapier (and, I'm sure, Zappy).
