If you havn’t had a chance to check out scrnshots, head on over, I guarantee some “oh, that’s cool” moments. Browsing through Scrnshots is like having a secret view, inside the mind of designers all over the globe, they shouldn’t even call them scrnshots, they’re more like little golden nuggets of web lovin’ packed with design tips, inspiration, and rainbows. Its officially worked it’s check per hour addiction (CPMA) score right beside Techmeme (yes, thats kind of a big deal).
Seriously though, It’s a nice departure from the obvious duplication between cssremix, cssbeauty, cssmania, and the other 394 style galleries, not to mention *these galleries must APPROVE your submission, pfft. How many times have you seen a design on CSSRemix and gone, “That made it!?”
Here’s some things I like: 1. The entire site I’m viewing could be terrible, but it might do one thing right, I can capture and post just that. (Note: extremely valuable) 2. People take scrnshots of their desktops, and there’s always some real cool wallpaper or app I’d never seen before, which translates to getting more cool stuff. 3. I have comment battles with other design bums about very granular things, like a style of button, or a usability approach to forms. etc.
The scrnshots team just released a bunch of sweet tools to quickly snap screenshots and upload, or even upload an entire local folder of screens. The app interaction is quiet, simple, and unobtrusive hanging out in the menubar for Mac, and system tray for windoze.
Go team, can’t wait for more cool stuff.
Oh PS. If the scrnshot guys are reading this: When’s the design upgrade coming? Rectangles went out of style shortly after web 4.0 last week. ![]()
