a simple side-project to list the Top & Popular Tech news and Discussions from the internet. I started working on this for my personal use and very recently made this as a website.


The first version of my side project (http://www.kopyscreen.com/) took about 8-10 hours, but somehow my interest level went down after showing it to my friends.

I want to add few more features to complete it but for about 6 weeks, I did not do any work on it :-(


Problem with this is there are already apps that do this for you on your computer.

Grab the small bit of screen you want to screenshot, not the whole screen, draw, save local or auto upload to imgur


yes @jordsmi, I agree. This project actually started as a programming exercise to learn a new lang. and not as something to solve my problem - that might be another reason for my low interest level after developing the first version.

I want to continue this, because this helped me learn/develop few new items, which I wouldn't have done in my regular job.


Good one. Best wishes for your success.


I am working on a side project - http://www.kopyscreen.com/

started this to learn Go lang, but with the interests shown by some of my friends, slowly building it into a website during the weekends. I am hoping to complete it soon.


How is this different than copy and pasting to Paint. What different does this do?


To be honest, I started working on this and then trying to find a best fit for the tool :)

my current plan is to build KopyScreen into a light-weight-paint-like online tool for use-cases like Bug Reporting, UI Review, etc.


love @ first sight :)

btw how did you generate those nice charts?


Awesome, the charts are Google Charts.


I'm curious as well...and while I'm at it do you store the analytics in a db?


Nothing special about the db - just PostgreSQL on Heroku


this idea looks good to me.

may be to validate this further, you can try doing this first for the popular software license terms - Apache, MIT, LGPL, etc. and see how the HN community use it.
