Good for sharing snippets, $2 "Pro" version needs work
I use this app all the time for sharing snippets with my collaborators. Setting a keyboard shortcut is trivial and it works every time. Even copies the link to your clipboard for you. Recently upgraded to the $2 "Pro" version which gets you access to other services like Gist (GitHub), Pastebin and others other than SourceDrop. I upgraded to use Gists but found it's still missing a key feature: ability to either A) set the language or B) set the filename so the Gist syntax-highlighter will work properly. Also, it would be nice to be able to specify a different theme for the default SourceDrop service. The dark color scheme doesn't suit everybody.
No dice on the upload
I try to drag text and text files to the icon in the menu bar, and it always tells me that it can't connect to my pro pastebin account.
Nice realisation, but has problems
1. Problems with encoding when content has cyrillic characters 2. The block with the code on the website is too narrow. It should be resizable.
