Other features

Mod Share Uploader

In Insanity 1.0+ for Windows or 1.1+ for Mac, there is a tool that allows users to upload their projects directly to Mod Share without having to use the website. In Insanity 1.0, it FTP uploads the file using an AutoIT script to an external site which is then transferred onto Mod Share. In Insanity 1.1, it uses the HTTPSocket library in Squeak to send the file using POST data.

Partial full screen mode

In Insanity Beta and later, there are two presentation mode buttons. The first one puts Insanity in "partial presentation mode", or presentation mode inside the window. The second one, "full presentation mode", puts Insanity in presentation mode in full screen, like in Scratch.

Cloud variables

Insanity has a very basic feature to use cloud variables stored on Mod Share.

Mod Share Browser

Insanity has a tool to look at projects uploaded on Mod Share. It can look at featured projects, projects by specific users, or search queries.
