During my autumn break, I attempted to make a web app to adress the long running inconvience of transfering screenshots from nintendo switch to other devices.
The idea was to post screenshots using the built in function to twitter. And the web service will filter all screenshots from the switch on the user twitter account.
Posting a screenshot to twitter on nintendo switch.The App
User logs in via twitter. After successful authentication, user is greeted by a gallary view of their switch screenshots.
Screenshots presented as thumbnails in gallary view.The user can then click on any one of the thumbnails (animated!) and head to the media view.
Single screen recording in media view.The media view page consists of two major elemetns: The media (Either image or video) and the origial tweet in embeded form. The user can download the desired media by right clicking or long pressing the media.
A tweet embeded in media view page containing 4 screenshots.If a tweet contains multiple images, each image will show up in the gallery independently.
Status
SwitchSnap is closed shortly after nintendo released an update enabling transfering screenshots directly to phone and apps such as SwitchBuddy by Filip Němeček.
