Screenshot Image Host [ WIP ]

Simple demonstration of a desktop application that captures a screenshot and uploads it to a server.

You can customize the server to your liking, as in instead of your own server you can use a third-party service like imgur or cloudinary or imgbb.

It's a work in progress and I'm open to suggestions and contributions.

Features

• Capture a screenshot of the entire screen or a specific area.
• Image is then converted to base64 and uploaded to the server.
• The URL of the uploaded image is then copied to the clipboard.

Technologies Used

• Electron: A framework for building cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies.
• Node.js: A JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.
• Express.js: A minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications.
• Multer: A middleware for handling multipart/form-data, which is primarily used for uploading files.
