puush4linux is a Linux client for the popular screenshot host puush. puush4linux aims to reach feature parity with the official Windows puush client. It currently supports authentication, taking screenshots and file uploading.
Arch Linux users may install the puush4linux package from the AUR, packaged by /u/some_random_guy_5345.
