Summary:

I made Subshare since I couldn't find a suitable linux alternative for ShareX, which I used on Windows to capture my screenshots, share text and files after it would upload them to the respective servies. Eg: Nextcloud/Hastebin. So I made something to fit my needs. If there are issues feel free to open up a issue and I'll try to get it fixed. Better yet write some come and help a brotha out? :D
