Top tools for a Technical Writer
When you are working with content on a daily basis, probably you already have a list of your favorite apps, tools, and services that allow you to work faster with texts and documentation. That's great! But chances are that this list is not perfect. "Fast" is not always equals "efficient".
Sometimes, when you urgently need a new tool for a specific purpose, you just type your search request and then choose the "most relevant" app from the top of the search results. Regardless of its usefulness, this app tends to stay in the favorites forever. As practice shows, this is rather an inefficient method.
This was my case previously. But now, I'm always trying to take some time to compare my new apps with some alternatives and find out whether my choice is the best one. Kind of trials and errors. This is, actually, the way how this list appeared. So, let me share my thoughts on what apps, tools, and services a seasoned Technical Writer must use. Or at least try.

Shutter does not work with a wayland desktop. That's not the sole fault of the project, but I still rank them down for suggesting to switch to an X11 environment in 2024. Here's the relevant ticket: https://github.com/shutter-project/shutter/issues/187
My favorite screenshot tool on Linux, glad to see the website and updates are back!
So this app looks like it is back from the previously mentioned "dead". I have not spent a lot of time with it but it looks promising.
Excellent tool for making screenshots on-the-fly. Lots of configurable settings, post-editing capabilities, uploading sources, and plugins. The only disadvantage - it doesn't support the entire page screenshot (like in Nimbus), only visible part of the screen. Also, it would be nice to have Shutter for Windows.
It looks like the software is dead - it is not possible to access the web site
You can easily install it straight through linux; I used the software manager.
The official website is available but actually, it is far easier to install Shutter using the command line or package manager.
Shutter is not dead. development continues the launcpad. https://launchpad.net/shutter
It has tons of features, and is just a breeze to effectively use. I can't see myself needing or wanting anything else for capturing images of my screen.
