Pink Arrows: An Open-Source Web-Based Skitch Alternative

Pink Arrows is a lightweight, web-based annotation tool. Hosted version at pinkarrows.app with no installation required.

Download size is ~500kb, and everything runs locally with no internet required. Nothing is stored server-side. It heavily uses Fabric JS

Pink Arrows in Action

I really loved Skitch. In fact, the pink Skitch arrows and dumbed-down text became a trademark of mine in multiple jobs. In a sea of text on Slack and email, Skitch annotations are a refreshing way to make a single, obvious, and easy to digest point. Since Skitch shut down, I've looked for multiple alternatives that are: Free-ish, have similar styling, and are lightweight (no signin, no server syncing). I didn't find any, and that's how Pink Arrows was born.
