@matijaabicic Thanks a lot Matija! Let me know if you have any feedback here :)
@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....
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
Looks ok but I couldn't create an account with my normal 1password workflow (right click, fill password)...
@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!
@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.
This is genius, I've been using tools like this for years, couldn't live without them! But adding some fun to it with emojis and integrating with apps like Trello, Slack, etc while keeping it simple that's something new. I think personally many times I'll just want the link to share in email which it seems to do really well too but those options are great because I do use multiple Slack accounts and Trello too.
I sometimes forget that a lot of people aren't using tools like this, and they are still doing it the hard way --- tools like Jing (the first one I really used regularly) have been around for a long time, now I use http://screenpresso.com (for Windows) which has a good feature set and allows me to have custom locations to publish via ftp so I host my own screenshots and it does video too so I can do it all with one tool. Plus I like the value of having custom URLS related to the screenshots/videos i.e. different business urls.
But I'm definitely going to give this a try and it will be the first one I recommend when I suggest screenshots to new users if they use Chrome, it's great to get team members and clients using these tools too so it makes your life easier too when trying to understand their feedback.
I'll probably have a hard time changing if I have to do screenshots this way and screencasts another way but definitely will use this for personal things and when an emoji is crucial! haha. Any thoughts on adding video later maybe via some dropbox, ftp or other integration? I imagine allowing video means much more storage requirements.
@ourielohayon Of course! When asked to chose an app, simply select the button that says "I just need a link". You can always add more apps later :)
@jameskoole Thanks for your comment. Yes, it's chrome only ATM 😢. May I ask what's your preferred browser?
@garygaspar Safari is my daily driver. Looks like a great tool, but I don't like to live in Chrome so it would be disruptive to my workflows to have to load up Chrome to snap and share.
@jameskoole Makes total sense, I understand :) Thanks for the kind words anyway
This looks like it would save me a few seconds, which is an improvement on my current workflow, but there's no way the problem it solves is worth $19/month to me... Maybe $10 a year.
Just tested this out and it's awesome. Is there any way to connect 2 slack accounts?
@melissamonteee Thanks a lot! I appreciate it. Unfortunately, we can't connect Slack 2 accounts. Smart though. I'll make a note right now:)
@garygaspar That would make my life so much easier. I just feel like both companies I'm in deserve my screenshots, you know? haha
Is it possible to add a comment to an existing card in Trello instead of creating a new one? cc: @garygaspar
@saijo_george we are working on this. Make sure you sync Trello and I'll let you know by email when it's up and running :)
@saijo_george good news. You can now add screenshots to existing cards. Here is how to do it : 
What's your feedback?
What's your feedback?
Tried, it, useful extension however the demo video shows email as an option under "choose your tool" although the extension doesn't appear to have that option. Had to uninstall. Will reinstall if email s added...
@bentossell a complete redesign of the tool as well as a brand new UX. We also introduced a new onboarding flow, possibility to use the app without being forced to integrate with an app, new integrations (Jira), possibility to add emojis and finally, a brand new screenshot editor that allows to resize items. I can send over the email we sent all users explaining what changed for V1 to V2 if you're interested
@garygaspar no thats ok... just thought it would be useful for the community to see what the updates were :)
Great extension! Very useful to me to file bugs and UI fixes on Trello. Lovely UI / UX.
When integrating it with Trello, Marker says that it wont' be reading any cards nor look at the boards but Trello tells me the opposite: The app will be able to see all cards on all boards but not our email addresses nor passwords. So who should I believe?
Feature request: It would be great to be able to assign the card to a team member (just like you can assign labels) from the 'Add More +' section.
@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
Just tried it and it's perfect! It'd be awesome to be able to do a FULL page screen capture 😉
Oh! A send to self (via email) feature would be cool, or send to people (via email) as well 😛
Keep up the good work! 😃
@bntzio thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. Full length page capture is something that a lot of you are asking. We are working on this feature as we speak so stay tuned :)
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.
@romainbarissat Thanks a lot for taking the time to share your experience with Marker and thank you for being so nice :D
@tribaling Thanks a lot! Feel free to reach out here if you have any feedback :)
