CLUSTER COMMAND-LINE-SCREENSHOT · 17 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2016-10-31
Screenshot capture and upload tools
This cluster comprises desktop and command-line utilities that capture screenshots (or selected regions) and upload them to image-hosting services such as Gyazo, Imgur, puush, teknik.io, Pyazo, pomf, and e-z.host, with a few also supporting GIF recordings or built-in annotation. Dated entries span from September 2015 to August 2025, appearing in isolated months with a slight concentration in 2024 (multiple entries), but otherwise no strong trend is evident. The traction leaders are Flameshot, kya, and pyazo-cli, each showing a zero-star activity signal, meaning none have established significant user engagement.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
