Love the idea! Just gave it a go, but unfortunately it seems a bit buggy at this point. Doesn't detect any activity in various apps (such as inside Google Chrome, for example). Also, various menu items are cut off (e.g. http://d.pr/i/ELcPh ). Don't let that stop you, though! Every new app will have some bugs. Love the idea. If this works smoothly along with flexible export options, I'd definitely use it.

@emarky This is definitely not expected behavior. Does it generate the screens within the Chrome? Can we jump on a quick support session to resolve the issue immediately? The app supports various scaling modes, so should be no issues like that at all.

@sasha_reminnyi I appreciate the gesture, but I rather not spend a lot of time on this :) Sorry - hope you understand!

@emarky Sure, then let me just know what's the scaling factor on your screen. Sorry that you've experienced the issue.

Hey, product hunters! Thanks Eric for featuring us! I am Sasha, CEO of StepShot. My team and I, during last year, was working on a cross-platform tutorial builder software to create training manuals, technical blog reviews, software workflow presentations and step-by-step guides in minutes. Since our last launch 1.5 years ago (with StepShot Manuals product) we've gained mostly B2B clients who worked with Windows only. Now we've launched eventually a cross-platform version that runs on Win&Mac, and Linux is coming soon! Would love to hear your thoughts! BTW: For all product owners, marketers and everyone we are happy to provide a 50% discount! Just sign up for a free trial today and use "ILoveGuidesOnPH" in 2 weeks, when the trial is over!

I currently use Clarify for static screenshots, and was intrigued by the ability to auto-record screenshots. Nice features, but it is too buggy for me - crashes when I open the Post Info screen of Export As WordPress Document on my Mac. I will definitely re-visit it as it gets more stable on Mac.

On my Mac works like a charm! Did a quick walkthrough for a web app, screenshots within a region - superb! Automatic texts - acceptable, but I added more details later. In result - 12 steps, time spent - less then 10 minutes. Well done, team!

@olehmykhaylovych Thanks Oleh! Were working hard to make it happen)!

@goldy_arora @sasha_reminnyi Same thing here... it seems that it doesn't take a screenshot at each click... However I would really love to use this app because it seems super usefull and very simple to use... if you have any info that can help on this, it would be super appreciated! :)

@goldy_arora @sasha_reminnyi Update: sometimes it works sometimes not... I reached 7 clicks once :)

@a_sky Could you please drop me a line at sasha at stepshot.net? If you could make screens only without moving the mouse - then we have a fix - to be released in 3 hours :)

It can potentially replace my Clarify, ActivePresenter and CloudApp combo for producing and publishing annotated screenshots.

Pros:

Unique features that more than replaces the current screenshot annotation software I'm using.

Cons:

Found some UX quirks and a WordPress posting issue.

I'm told the WordPress issue is fixed in the next release.
