Easily add a cursor to your screenshot using just a simple web app.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Some comments:

Add the cursors for more OS. For example, the in a Win8 screenshot the cursors look wrong.

Add more file formats to download. Now the only option is jpg that is not good for very crispy artificial images like screenshots. The letters get some noise due to the compression. At least add png (and gif (I don't hate gif.)).

What about a blinking caret or a spinning hourglass?

I don't think that there is a very big market for this. It's nice to have something like this with a link to your main page to get some visibility. Anyway, do you have any idea about using the same code and changing the details to create something that appeal to more general public?

For example, can you write "Star that Photo" that allows someone to add stars of different colors? (I think it's a bad idea, but it has more public.) Emoticons? Funny eyes?What do people want to add to photos/images?

A strange app.

I have a hard time finding a proper use case for this app... Maybe it would be more useful if you could add annotations to the screenshot as well.

Did you make this as an exercise in JS or do you intend to polish this off and make it into a real product?
