The UI and features look well-polished. I use ShareX, another open-source tool but only available for Windows. However, a crucial feature for me is quick screen recording (GIF or MP4), which Flameshot seems to lack. Does it have this feature? It's not mentioned on the landing page.

On Linux for screen recording I use Peek and I really like the approach

You just resize Peek‘s transparent window over the part of the screen that you want and hit record

I make heavy use of Peek and it's great. Unfortunately it's abandoned so will likely stop working eventually.

Oh, I was not aware of this. Very sad to see this
I use ShareX for mp4 and gif using CTRL+PrtSc / SHIFT+PrtSc and for image screenshot only PrtSc (currently lightshot, will aoon move to flameshot)
