Kap: Feature Idea: SnapKap (drag and drop, clipboard)

[onordbo]

I had a thought the other day, when I was using Kap to just show a bunch of stuff quickly to my team. I kept ending up with all these out of context useless gifs laying around my computer, constantly cleaning out folders to conserve space.

And then I realised, Evernote's Skitch Screenshot app has a really neat feature for sharing screenshots instantly pretty much anywhere that does file uploads, and then discarding the file after you're done with it.

Basically it works like this:

1) Record screenshot
2) Manipulate recording as needed
3) Drag on a little .png icon to get a png file in your hand
4) Drop that file pretty much anywhere that does file sharing. WhatsApp, Slack, GitHub, etc.
5) ???
6) Profit

See a GIF demonstration here.

This is such a good idea! Most of the time I don't need to save the file, all I really need to do is drop it into a chat, comment or post.

Updating this issue with a prototype I made a while back to demonstrate how the feature could work.
