OwO.sh

A basic example/uploader for uploading to ratelimited.me's image server. The aim was to have a script that allowed for users of all operating systems (that werent already supported by ShareX) to also be able to upload to whats-th.is related products.

Thank you to jomo and his script jomo/imgur-screenshot, to which taking snippets and borrowing code has guided me to improving my own script. This script wouldn't be anywhere near what it is today without his efforts.

Dependencies

os	dependency	description
MacOS	greadlink	readlink -f doesn't work on Mac, so install coreutils via homebrew or just greadlink in general to make this work
	Terminal Notifier	Default OSX Notifications suck and barely work, this is a workaround for that.
	Screencapture	Comes default with OSX and is the client that you use when you press CMD + Shift 3 or CMD + Shift 4.
	Pbcopy	Comes default with OSX and is used to copy things to your clipboard.
	GREP	Comes standard with all UNIX OSes and is used to (in this case) decipher JSON.
	cURL	Comes standard with all UNIX OSes and is used to (in this case) upload to the RLME server.
Linux	Notify-Send	Default Linux barely has any, if at all, notification support from terminal. This is a workaround.
	Maim	A rich screenshotting client, that better than what comes default with Linux.
	XClip	Comes default with most UNIX based OSes and allows for things to copied to clipboards.
	GREP	Comes standard with all UNIX OSes and is used to (in this case) decipher JSON.
	cURL	Comes standard with all UNIX OSes and is used to (in this case) upload to the rlme server.

in your terminal.

Usage

Basic usage of the script is like so.

owo image.png

However the following flags can be placed after owo for the each of the results.

short	command	description
-h	--help	Shows this help screen to you, displaying all the avaliable commands.
-v	--version	Show current application version, incase you wanted to reference it elsewhere.
-c	--check	Checks whether or not dependencies are installed. Response with a INFO : or and ERROR : .
	--update	Checks whether or not your application is completely up to date. If not it will alert you.
-l	--shorten	Begins the url shortening process. This can be done through application or another argument.
-s	--screenshot	Begins the screenshot uploading process. Your OS should be able to guide you through this however.
-gr		Begins screencast (gif) recording process. At this time, this feature is only available on Linux
-gs		Stops the screencast (gif) recording process and starts encoding/uploading.

Screencast capture requirements

• ffmpeg (build > 2013)
• slop (should come with maim)
• If using compton, xr_glx_hybrid or xrender backend (glx causes flicker/tearing)

Using the Mac Workflow

1. Unzip the workflow file owo-uploader.workflow.zip
2. Click on the workflow file. When prompted to install, click yes.
3. Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services
4. Scroll down to General and look for owo-uploader. Assign a shortcut to it.
5. (Optional) Disable default screenshot keys in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Screen Shots

Now when you press your selected shortcut, the screenshot uploader will be launched, without having to type anything in the shell.
