    "I wanted to do the so called impossible.."— Brycen Granville
  • What is SnapX?

    Cross-platform screenshot tool that handles images, text, and video (fork of ShareX)

  • Who is behind SnapX? Tell us a bit about yourself.

    My name is Brycen Granville and I am a young software developer from Florida with a passion for undertaking problems that most have deemed to be difficult.

  • Why did you build SnapX?

    I enjoyed using ShareX on Windows. I've never liked building things like todo apps. My love comes from a real problem being solved.

  • How did you come up with the idea?

    I was talking on the ShareX Discord and looking at all the previous requests all ending with saying that it is either impossible or you can try and do it yourself. I simply wanted to do the so called impossible.

  • Do you want to share some numbers? Downloads, users, MMR, whatever works for you!

    My repository has 300+ stars since it's creation 1 year ago. As for users, I've advised them to not use it yet, so, all my active users are enthusiastic testers. Since adding Aptabase user telemetry 3 or 4 weeks ago, I've observed 368 events.

  • Why .NET MAUI? What made you choose it for this project?

    For the learning experience. I had been using Xamarin.Forms for a while and wanted to try out the new hotness.

  • What do you dislike about .NET MAUI? Would you choose a different framework if you had to start over?

    Nothing much. I would pick it again, was a pretty decent learning experience.
