Snapplr Beta 1
Briksoftware is proud to announce that after months of work we finally opened the beta to our brand new tool Snapplr. Snapplr is the first product that Michele and I developed together.
Basically Snapplr is a total replacement for the system’s screenshot facilities. The only difference is that screenshots are instantly uploaded to Snapplr.com and the link is put on the clipboard. If you have a static IP and don#t want to use Snapplr.com, you can also host the images locally via the build in web-server. The images will be stored for 1 day currently, after that the images will be deleted automatically. We’re not sure about the time interval though, but typically you don’t need to share snaps that are older than a day.
Another very nice feature is the Live mode which allows you to choose an area, a window or a whole screen for capturing. The url is put on the clipboard and whenever you open this url it will take a screenshot and send it to the browser, perfect for showing someone what you’re working on without setting up a whole vnc session or what not.
The beta is limited to the first 100 people that sign up, so if you want to give it a try, go to snapplr.com and register

Greetings – Eager to try out my beta account and the installer reports only that I am firewalled. What port number do I need to open/forward to alleviate this issue?
Thank you!

Is this not exactly what grabup.com already provides, for free?

@Peter: If you insert your login details, is not a problem if you are firewalled. We explained that better in later betas.
@Alex: Isn’t Mac OS X exactly what Ubuntu provides, for free? Just try it and see the differences.
