You know Shottr is only available for macOS, don't you? If source code is so important, why do you even bother using macOS?
I wouldn't install Shottr on any of my Linux machines, even if available. Despite it being objectively better than any available alternative. I'd recreate one myself if necessary.
But on a corporate Mac, where 99.999% of executed code is a black box, why bother?
Huh? I'm running kde plasma on wayland and flameshot runs like a dream come true. I hit the flameshot icon in the tray, it automatically selects the whole screen to save, or if I click it starts cropping wherever I move the mouse. It's like the devs read my mind for exactly what I wanted
I'm running the same, but for me it's definitely not a smooth experience compared to plasma + X. Indeed I resorted to clicking on tray icon because invocation from custom shortcut doesn't allow me to Ctrl-c (copy to clipboard). On the other hand, clicking from tray breaks Ctrl-s (save to file). Oh, well.
Every Wayland compositor has a different feature set, and KDE is one of the more open to implementing features. It's likely that other people have compositors that stubbornly refuse to implement screenshots for security reasons.
Maybe try Spectacle. I use the OOTB Spectacle app on Fedora KDE. It has the same features as Flameshot and is .. well, native.
But on my Mac, I use indeed Flameshot, it's not ideal (the window is "shrinking" when a screenshot is captured), but it's better than any alternative I tried.
