I've been using ShareX (https://getsharex.com/) for some years, which is also open-source, and very featureful while not feeling too bloated, though Windows only. I'll have to have a look at this next time I'm on a Linux desktop, as I found the options lacking compared to ShareX last time I looked. - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago
ShareX (https://getsharex.com/) doesn't have quite this nice UX but it's free. I often use it alongside browser dev tools. Here's a screenshot of me measuring this comment box https://i.imgur.com/yoTHbzq.png. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

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 / 11 months ago

You might also find Boxy SVG useful as it has built-in support for symbol-based icon sprites: https://boxy-svg.com/#demo-symbols. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
I shelled out $10 for BoxySVG a couple of years ago on Mac and it's been a solid little tool. https://boxy-svg.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
There is also Boxy SVG (https://boxy-svg.com) which combines both designer and developer oriented functionality and uses SVG as its native file format. Unlike Illustrator/Sketch/Inkscape it can also create and manipulate SVG animation elements (https://boxy-svg.com/blog/21) - a very powerful feature which is now supported by all major browsers. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
What I did for my instance (aipub.social) was I took the original logo file from github (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/tree/main/app/javascript/images) which is "logo-symbol-wordmark.svg" and pasted the SVG url into this online SVG editor, https://boxy-svg.com/ that allowed me to edit the existing one to my liking, in my case I just wanted to change "Mastodon" to "AIpub". This keeps it the same file... Source: about 1 year ago
Thanks!! Agree 100% re the edges. I've actually tried that and failed to make it look nice. I'm very new to this and I only have Inkscape & BoxySVG, since I use a Chromebook which doesn't work with Illustrator. I'll keep trying, though, as I fully agree with the concept. Source: over 1 year ago
