How I Quickly Capture Screenshots directly into My Blog
When I am creating blog posts it’s often helpful to add screenshots to them to
illustrate what I see on my screen. Sometimes I lack good screenshots in my
posts because it just takes more effort than I have in the moment, and I
prioritize making content over making perfect content.
Making Screenshots # [1]
When I have something to take a screenshot of, I need to take the shot,
optimize the image, often convert it to a better format, publish it, and
create a the img tag in my blog.
- take screenshot
- optimize
- conversion
- publish
- create img tag
Created in 🐍Python # [2]
I created this tool for myself in python because that is what I am most
familiar with, but realistically most of what I am calling are shell scripts
that I could do in just about any language.
Install my screenshot tool # [3]
My screenshot tool is quite hacky and not configurable, but works wonderfully
for me. If you like it and want to use it, make it configurable or fork it.
For now it lives on GitHub...
