    Has some excellent additions over Flameshot. Using both, Ksnip for the more advanced captures & editing with the additional tools/features whenever the need calls for it.

    I prefer ksnip to flameshot because adding comments or annotations is more easy with it. Could be selected and modified after drawing it. Buttons still at same place (with Flameshot buttons are all around the selection, so never the same place). However, the two software are good and near ShareX for windows.

    Gradia vs Flameshot Comments

    Yes! I found the best alternative to the now dead (on GNOME with Wayland) Flameshot or long-dead grandpa Shutter. Gradia can ask the system to do the screenshot properly, and then it lets you edit the screenshot image. And that's exactly what I wanted in the last years!
