@nivo0o0 screenshot -> crop -> meme is a fav...more meme super powers coming soon ;)
Thanks @chrismessina for hunting us!
We're really excited to share Blink with everyone here.
We built Blink to be the fastest/most fun way to share your context ( screenshots, texts, memes etc ) of whats on your screen right now. You won't find arrows/boxes or more standard annotation tools for PM's that you find in tools like Skitch, but you will find other features that help preserve context (hotlink blink & selective highlight/crop) and make sharing ad-hoc screenshots faster (blink instant) and more fun (scalable emojis).
If you're interested in more of the thinking went into building Blink, you can read more here:

I'll be here all day to answer any and all questions you might have.
The mobile successor to Skitch?
"Almost 40% of people are visual thinkers. These people perceive information in the form of images better than any other medium. Blink is our answer to add more context to visual communication on mobile starting out by giving superpowers to your screenshots."
Blink is one of those things (snapchat comes to mind for me most prominently) that is so "simple" that it feels like a silly little app ... until you realize it's become the app you use more than any other 3rd party tool, and you start building brand new usecases that you couldn't live without around it. Great work!
I find myself constantly communicating using mobile screenshots. Since I put my hands on Blink while in beta, I can't go back to the old 4-5 clicks. For me it just feels more natural to communicate with visuals.
@enadav Before Blink my work flow for sharing screenshots was... just felt like the horse and buggy times to be honest. Speed is just less stress with blink.
Blink is really slick! I've tested it in beta stage and like how they created a social media app rather than a simple screenshot utility.
I've created various collections of products and articles I had one my phone and shared it with the community, which otherwise would have been buried in my photo stream.
Good work! I am curious to see how it evolves.
@bausofthenauf thanks Nils! We do think Blink has the potential to be much more than just a utility (though we think it does a pretty good job of that too).
@gus_leroy sorry to hear it didn't work out for you...for now an account is required so we can work on multiple future devices. This may change in future versions.
@adambreckler it wasn't explained to me in the on boarding so I didn't know why you needed my credentials for a screen shot app. Also the multiple devices isn't really a necessity in my opinion so I'm not sure why you make it into a deal breaker for the app?
@gus_leroy makes sense...eliminating the signup requirement is on our roadmap 👌
Been looking for an app like this to create my own memes, very useful when I want to capitalize on viral moments without having to open up a clunky Photoshop template from now on. Thank you!
@mosheimedia you're very welcome! We are building blink to be the fastest/easiest way to 'meme your screen' by reacting visually to what you see.
When Android version comes out I'll play with it, but one thing the video playing on top of the phone, you should disable the `controls` in the tag
Looks pretty interesting. I'm not a meme kind of guy, but I do a lot of screenshots and so I've downloaded it and look forward to giving it a go.
Awesome, tested it while it was still in beta and truly enjoyed every moment!
It's the small things that make the big difference, and this kind of apps tends to have huge impact during your day to day communications.
@dannifriedland thanks! We appreciate the kind words and feedback...we designed Blink to be a daily tool for you to get value from,
