Useful Shortcuts.app recipes?

Are you talking about iOS shortcuts? If so I would be happy to share

I have been working on a couple recently. They are a bit clunky but get the job done mostly (I’m no expert).

Either iOS or MacOS would be helpful to me

I just made one for macOS to automatically prompt me for a post title, populate a text file with helpful snippets of text, save the file in Dropbox, open a few helpful folders, and open the text file. Let me know what you think!

Hi here is my clunky, work-in-progress shortcut. Please read the first comment in the file.

I've adapted this shortcut here: https://routinehub.co/shortcut/9762/

Which uploads an image to an image host and then allows me to copy the URL for the image in Markdown (i keep images outside of dropbox to save space). I tacked on a step at the end to start a new Note in Bear from that Markdown, as Bear is where i write my entries on both Mac and iPhone.

This shortcut is designed to prompt for a post title and then create a draft post in iA Writer with YAML front matter in the specified directory.

It relies on the Actions app by Sindre Sorhus for trimming whitespace from around the title.

Edit the Text values for YAML front matter format and the path variable for where you want the posts created. This version assumes you’re storing it in Dropbox.

This shortcut works on both iOS and macOS.
