... Slack or ChatGPT. Comment from Alexander Bickov(@bickov): @daryna_radiichuk  Six years on the same tool is a good sign. What does it do that the built-in shortcut does not?

... shape, 11x smaller, about 99% of the pixels gone. Text that was 28px tall arrives under 3px. That's the whole reason long screenshots get useless answers. The model isn't being lazy, it's reading a gray smear. SlimSnap handles it in two parts. The capture gets cut into frames small enough to survive the resize, and the text goes over separately as JSON with coordinates, which has no height limit at all. A 28,000px page arrives intact ... ... quiet one. Comment from Roopesh Donde(@roopesh_donde): Ugh that's strange, especially since it takes more tokens to process an image. I've moved on to pasting only text and logs, even for a full site. SlimSnap

That number is the whole shift Comment from Alexander Bickov(@bickov): @virko_kask   Name the human vs describe a market is the cleanest test in here. AI can only ever hand you a market, it's never sat across from the angry person. That's why its ideas feel plausible and empty at the same time.

... bandage" as a test for any problem statement. Quick one: do you find the bleed has to come first, or can the bandage lead if it's vivid enough? Comment from Alexander Bickov(@bickov): Problem first, always. For @SlimSnap it's this: you paste a screenshot into a coding agent and it edits the wrong element on a busy screen, so you redo the work. The fix is marking the exact element so the agent acts on that instead ... ... more than any UI polish did. So yeah, I d say naming the problem is the actual unlock. The demo just has to not get in the way of it. Comment from Viraj Parab(@viraj_parab): StartupHQ to organize competitor

My Q3: Work goals: Keep the commit streak alive, ship @SlimSnap improvements weekly instead of in bursts Take marketing as seriously as building. It was my weak side, so more distribution and less hiding in the editor Build in public on X properly, share the real experience (the wins, the boring ... ... middle, the competitor

... guess which element on a busy screen I actually meant, and it edits the wrong one. Then I'm re-prompting, which is its own iteration tax. Curious how much of your rework is this specific thing versus raw model quality. And what's your fix, crop hard, or describe the element in text? Comment from Alexander Bickov(@bickov): @r_aghababa  SwiftUI is where I feel it worst, no DOM, no Figma, so the agent has only the pixels ... ... capturing the element and the intent once as structured text, instead of re-cropping or re-describing each round. Same thing you're doing by hand, minus the by-hand. I ended up building a small tool for it (SlimSnap

... These came from people who tried the SlimSnap screenshot-to-JSON workflow during launch and asked for something specific. Listing in the order they came in. Screenshot capture for scrollable content and open dropdowns. Right now the capture clips to the visible window, so if a dropdown or long list is open, parts get cut. Balpreet S flagged this on LinkedIn. Native Mac app screenshot support (scope verification). Several people asked whether SlimSnap

... flow too, so I made it: capture, annotate if you need to, and the agent reads the latest one on its own. Path and metadata handled. Screenshot as part of the conversation, not a file chore. It's called SlimSnap. Which part would you want most, the auto-send or the annotate step? Comment from Alexander Bickov(@bickov): @rahulbhavsar  That lines up with how I built it, auto-send is the default. The Claude Code skill reads the latest ...

... versioning angle is the part most people skip. An annotated PNG is a dead end, you can't diff it or reuse the reference. A small structured file you can, which is basically why I ended up building SlimSnap, the arrows became fields. Were you versioning those against design history or the actual code change? Comment from Advin Jadis(@advin_jadis): I used to keep drawing arrows on screenshots in Figma. A tiny structured file with element references feels much ... ... cleanner and probably easier to version. Comment from Alexander Bickov(@bickov): @kalvinio  Ha, same instinct, I built one too (SlimSnap

... SlimSnap ships a Claude Code skill that auto-loads your latest screenshot so the agent reads the structured JSON without you pasting anything. That's the "magic" version of the workflow. For everything else (Cursor, Lovable, bolt.new , Replit AI, claude.ai ), the screenshot spec works but you paste the JSON into chat manually. It works, just not as smooth as the Claude Code flow. Where do you actually paste screenshots into AI tools today? Vote in the comments, ideally with ... ... take this as a date promise. Just trying to figure out which one to start with after the current backlog. Comment from Alexander Bickov(@bickov): @peter_nick  Right, capture volume is upstream of paste destination. The take-vs
