@sethdrebitko I've recently moved the purely "ideas" stuff to reminders, because it was getting hard to tell which stuff was already a draft. But once I have more than an idea I put it in Drafts, format it, preview it (custom preview actions ftw!), and then use Shortcuts from Drafts to upload it (https://www.rosemaryorchard.com/blog/workflow-upload-blog-post-via-ssh). I'm currently refining my blogging process though. Practically everything I write for anywhere starts (and often ends) in Drafts though!

@frankm It's a separate app rather than a preinstalled one, check the App Store on Monday!

@mina you can actually buy replacement caps on Amazon that are just capacitive stylus tips, if the app you're using supports using your finger as an eraser and the pencil as a pencil then that will do it!

@Burk No, but maybe I've trained myself to pause without thinking?

@smokey aww, thanks!

@belle this post came through twice. I'm replying to the first one. Just letting you know in case it's a Pico issue!

@CTD 😻

@eli That sounds like my kind of day!

@Aleen I went to a salon once with them, my hair looked really nice afterwards so I was tempted. Then my mum bought one and I tried it - the skill of the person using the dryer is much more important than the dryer is my conclusion!

@belle No worries! A new test device is on its way 🤓

@sharding You don't need Siri to use the Shortcuts app - or to use Shortcuts! You can type in the search and they'll appear to be triggered :)

@sharding Have you listened to the Canvas series on Workflow, Automators (we have an episode on it, but it's mentioned in every episode so far!), and the Automators forums? Mac Power Users has had an episode or two with Workflow focus too. Also, keep an eye out on my blog, I have a post I'm working on!

@sergio\_101 Have fun!

@belle I'm having trouble installing Pico, I did enable Unknown Sources in settings, but when trying to open the APK it says "There was a problem while parsing the package."

Might this be because my test device is ancient and running Android 6? 🙃

I'm happy to create an issue, but my Android experience is practically null so it's likely user error rather than programming :)

@frankm If I remember correctly it will be a firmware upgrade for my bulbs/bridge at least - helpfully for yours too!

@frankm mobile.twitter.com/tweethue/...

@frankm The Hue bridge :)

@frankm That's being fixed in the next update (which will also bring support for Shortcuts) ;)

@dejus The building really isn't designed for any air conditioning. The apartments all share an air circulation system (which you can't disable), so we'd literally be paying to cool the whole building 😒

@macgenie Matthew Cassinelli will be there!

@ChrisJWilson My office most definitely does not do air conditioning! But yes, more and more homes are getting it. Unfortunately our apartment isn't really suited to getting it installed.

@ChrisJWilson We won't be able to HomeKit the fan probably - unless we get a harmony hub for just that. But this is our answer to air conditioning for now and actually having overhead lights in the bedroom will be an upgrade over the current "oh yeah, the bulbs are all dead and a nightmare to locate and replace" issue 😋

@sethdrebitko This is the best app for transport in Vienna though - there's one other with real-time information but it frequently suggests completely crazy things to me or doesn't work.

@Mtt You can use the API with something like this, or you could use url Schemes as documented here.

@Mtt What are you looking for?
