Screenshots, they're not that hard

Your phone is a great tool to take pictures, we all know that... but please, don't use a phone to take a picture of your monitor

Your non-orthogonal angle is pain to look at, the text is blurry, the lighting is just messed up. If you want help, make us want to help you. Make our lives easier.

Besides, it's not even that hard to take screenshots. And you can usually just paste them in, without having to pick up your phone to send the message on whatever platform you're working on.

Windows

  • Windows has a built-in Snippet Tool. Pin it to your hotbar, or use <Logo key>+<Shift>+<S>.
  • Use the <PrintScreen> button on your keyboard. If your laptop doesn't have this button, you may use <Fn>+<Logo Key>+<Spacebar> instead.
  • Install a tool like ShareX which has a bunch of handy customization, including shortcuts to capture regions, windows, and even auto-post to Twitter.
