Screenshot Flow - Super fast app diagrams to communicate design

Screenshot Flow is a screen grab app that generates clever user journey diagrams from screenshots to communicate with others about an app's design and workings. It is fully integrated with Google Drive, draw.io and its simple viewer at screenshotflow.com.

Hi PH community, this is my first submission here. I hope you find it useful! This project started out as a small tool for my own use initially, and later I decided to graduate it as an app to try its luck out in the wild. The idea came from my experience launching products for companies when I often found myself knocking up diagrams from screenshots to either communicate about an app's design or to analyse flows from a bird's-eye view. These diagrams were useful for comparing already implemented designs to the original wireframe specs looking for flaws and areas for improvements. In other cases they were just an easy way to provide instructions for someone on how to do something in an app.(e.g.: parents using Instagram) I didn't like the repetitious tasks of getting screenshots to the computer and the tinkering with the diagrams which is why I came up with the idea of an app to do all of that for me. All of the features in the app are free for 7 days, but if you message me in Product Hunt I'll reply back with a promotion code so you can have it free forever. (I have 500 promo codes to give out.) Please let me know what you think. There is also a feedback option in the app if that's easier. Thank you PH!

@danielvidonyi Nice idea. But I wanted to give you a suggestion. I see that you have used Google Sans font, but I don't think Google allows that for any commercial/personal use. Check out the license here: https://fonts.google.com/license... It says: "Google offers many fonts under open source licenses. This is not one of them. Please see fonts.google.com for options you can use." You might want to double check and not run into any trouble.

Is this supposed to be an app or is to be used in the browser for now?

Please I need help! I absolutely love your app and it has assisted me in many of my projects and user journey mapping. However it will no longer connect to my drive error message 'unable to connect to drive please your internet connection and try again' I have both working wifi and mobile data. Please help me to get going again!

Where has this app gone? It's not in the play store anymore! 😭

@candice_hodgson @carmen_scharffenorth Hi, the app was taken off from the Play Store for about a week while I was fixing the issue Carmen reported. It is back now! The problem was basically due to Google shutting down their Drive API the app relied on, so I had to re-engineer it to use a different API. As a bonus now you no longer need to sign in with Google and use Google drive. You can also save the files locally or to other cloud services if their respective apps are installed on the phone! (That's your karma served Google)
