This is cool. I find myself also often taking screenshots and sharing as a convenient source of info.

I also feel like when I share the screenshot - via slack, the million messaging clients my various friends / colleagues use, etc. - the context and convo is often lost.

I see the value here in unifying that data in one place - instead of the screenshot, I can just share a link and then go and find all the screenshots somewhere. I like that. Actually, now that I think about it, if you set the `og tags`[1], chat apps should also make an image preview when you paste a link (maybe you are already doing this - I didn't check) so it's a similar effect as what we do today but with the added benefits of cataloging / commenting / finding.

Congrats on launching. Who do you envision as the primary users and first niche use cases?

Thanks! Open Graph tags are a great idea. I'm going to add them and push an update soon :) Like you said, this is an improvement over just dropping snapshots into slack, since you keep a lot more information with it (the original link and any conversation on that screenshot).

Initial use case: I think it's really useful if you're developing a website and want to screenshot bugs or feature requests, draw what it should do instead, and add comments (and dismiss when fixed!). I used MarqLink extensively for this while developing MarqLink.

Interesting. Do you know if anything like this has been built internally at tech cos?
