CLUSTER WAYLAND-SCREENSHOT-CAPTURES · 41 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2019-10-27
Wayland screenshot capture tools
This cluster comprises 38 Wayland-centric screenshot and screen capture utilities, ranging from minimal command-line tools to feature-rich apps with annotation, OCR, scrolling capture, and upload capabilities. Entries appeared sporadically from March 2019 through 2025, then grew more frequent in early 2026 with multiple entries per month in February, March, May, and July. The traction leaders by activity signal are shotdock, latchshot, and mark-shot, though each currently shows zero stars.
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.
