Screenshot tool for GNOME + Wayland

Can you recommend me a tool compatible with GNOME and Wayland, that allows taking screenshots with on-the-fly editing features like drawing or blurring?

Flameshot worked well on X11, but unfortunately, it lacks Wayland support. ShareX was a great tool on Windows; now I'm looking for something similar for Wayland.

Flameshot has wayland support, however there seems to be some issues that might need to be worked around. Like https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/3326#issuecomment-1854902229

I noticed that the Flatpak didn't work on Fedora 39, probably due to how they build the flatpak or something. I had no problem taking screenshots under Fedora 39 Wayland session using the Appimage.

Same. I want to use flatpak instead of the "raw" binary

As flameshot is qt based, did you have the xdg QT portal installed when trying? I think that's what makes the qt stuff talk to other things in a wayland environment.
