September 2021 Development Roundup (Patreon)

Hey all! Here's everything I worked on during September.

Nexus Tools

I released version 5.0 of Nexus Tools, my installer for Android SDK Platform Tools (ADB, Fastboot, etc.) on Mac, Linux, and Windows. I already wrote about the update here, so I won't repeat myself, but I also just published a blog post about some development details if anyone is curious.

ImageShare

ImageShare is my image uploading tool for basic web browsers, mostly intended as a replacement for the screenshot uploader on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. When you uploaded an image on the original version, it would give you a QR code, which you could then scan to get the image on a smartphone/tablet. It was mainly intended as an image transfer tool — the image URL was automatically deleted after a few minutes.

Last month I finished an update that I've wanted to work on for a while. ImageShare now uploads images directly to Imgur, and provides a QR code to the Imgur link. Just as with the previous version, all of this is handled server-side, without the need for the browser to log into anything or wait for JavaScript code to load.

Even better, uploading a screenshot from a Nintendo 3DS using ImageShare sets the Imgur image name as the title of the game (example here). This functionality is possible thanks to 3dsdb.com, which has a database of basically every 3DS game with its ID.

In the future, I want to update the design of ImageShare to work better on larger screens, and also maybe add video uploading support (because Imgur allows that).
