Building a mac screenshot tool for Vibe Coders

When I left my PM job at Duolingo I started working on lazyweb.com which is a design exploration & inspo library powered by AI for quick prototyping.

However one thing kept getting in the way as I am building this 12-14 hours a day and it was that I needed to take 50-100 screenshots a day and go back and forth between the app and Claude/Codex

It was frustrating because it would always break my flow I take a screenshot, then have to find the window for Claude then Open attachements and paste...Sometimes I would open figma to get a color dropper or measure padding, margins..etc

So I just built a tool to help me stay in flow which is Lazyscreenshots. Its simple light weight and does exactly the JBTD nothing more nothing less.

JBTD:
1. Autopaste without breaking flow (CMD+SHIFT+2) -> takes a screenshot -> saves it -> copy to clipboard -> open coding agent/figma (or whatever app) -> paste it. One hotkey..shaves up 20 seconds or so which compounds fast
2. Measurement -> I usually used CMD+SHIFT+4 to try to "measure" margins, padding, size of a UI item...etc...well no more hacking this around...created a built in measurement tool that "snaps" on UI items so I can compare quickly QA UI
3. Overlays (CMD+SHIFT+V) -> This is smth that I used A LOT more than I expected, basically opens up an overlay inside any app to access all screenshots, edit them, measure them, annotate, add ntoes..etc without every leaving my AI coding agent or opening up preview or anything...makes it super fast to do quick annotations and paste in whatever app I am working on.

Ever since I created this like I personally use it 50-100 times a day...which is awesome and I am sure more people like me out there who are vibe coding every day would find this helpful (at least I hope so) now is just the time to figure out how to make folks know that this thing exists
