ShareX [1] is my other "must install" app. I never would have guessed how much my branch of engineering consists of "take a screenshot and draw lines, arrows and circles on it." Being able to customize my workflow to do all of that is really great. [1] https://getsharex.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Setting aside the accessibility issues of posting an image of text, I would use a different method such as Lightscreen to capture the screenshots. Ctrl+Printscreen lets you define an area to capture. Screenshots are automatically saved in a folder of your choice using a filename convention you can easily setup. For doing repeated screenshots it is much faster than snipping tool.
