9/19 signals

Why this score

Not enough measured signals for Owner-safe, and the score is outside the Needs-a-techie band. Captured 2026-10-15. Unmeasured signals add nothing and are not treated as failures.

Alive14/20
  • Last push. 8 points. GitHub pushed_at was 0 days before 2026-10-15.
  • Releases in 12 months. 6 points. The public releases feed shows at least 10 tagged releases in the last 12 months.
  • How fast issues close. Not measured. Median issue-close time is not in the seed snapshot, so this signal is omitted.
Trusted5.7/20
  • OpenSSF Scorecard. 3.7 points. OpenSSF Scorecard 5.3 out of 10.
  • Open critical or high vulnerabilities. Not measured. Open vulnerability counts were not fetched. We do not assume zero.
  • Contributors in 90 days. Not measured. 90-day contributor counts were not fetched.
  • Bus factor. Not measured. Contributor share was not fetched.
  • Stars. 2 points. 40,077 stars, log-scaled and capped at 20,000.
Takeoverable11.7/25
  • Licence. 7.5 points. Licence class copyleft.
  • Stack. 2.3 points. C#. TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, PHP, and Vue score as widely hireable.
  • Tests and CI. 1.9 points. A CI workflow file was found. A test suite was not separately confirmed, so this signal scores half.
  • Docs quality. Not measured. Docs quality is an LLM rubric. v1 does not invent that score.
  • Data export. Not measured. Data-export was not audited app by app, so it is omitted.
Easy to run5/20
  • One-click deploy. Not measured. No one-click host was verified for this app, so the signal is omitted rather than scored as a failure.
  • Managed cloud or done-for-you. 5 points. SeatLess offers done-for-you setup. A vendor cloud, where listed, is the vendor’s own hosting, not a licence you own.
  • Docker Compose. Not measured. No Dockerfile or Compose file at the usual paths. It may still exist elsewhere, so this is omitted.
  • Memory needs. Not measured. Memory needs were not measured.
  • Setup steps. Not measured. Setup-step rubric was not run.
Feature fit7.5/15
  • Coverage of the incumbent’s main jobs. 7.5 points. Editorial reading of public docs. Not a certified feature audit. Unknown jobs are left out of the average.

What it replaces

ShareX is a Windows desktop tool for screenshots and screen recording, plus upload destinations you configure. It is GPL-3.0. It is not a Mac app and it is not a shared video library.

Feature coverage vs Loom

Editorial, from public descriptions. A dash means we did not assess that job. This is not a lab test, and Atlassian has not reviewed it.
