Safari rss reader8/17/2023 (And, yes, that’s my tattoo.)Įxclusively for Club MacStories this week, I’ve created a shortcut to upload images to an FTP server using Secure ShellFish. Uploading images to an FTP server from Shortcuts. This can be done by converting a selection from Safari back and forth between rich text and Markdown: the Markdown syntax doesn’t support font sizes and colors, so those elements are removed in the first conversion from rich text to Markdown when the Markdown is converted back to rich text again, only basic elements supported by the syntax make the cut. Essentially, the shortcut “sanitizes” rich text by preserving basic formatting elements (links, bold, italics, etc.) while getting rid of others. The shortcut is a basic adaption of my existing Safari Markdown Selection one, with an added ‘Make Rich Text from Markdown’ step at the end. And because Apple Mail doesn’t support the Mac’s ‘Paste and Match Format’ command on iPhone and iPad, I decided to write a shortcut for it. I realized I needed this shortcut when I wanted to email a selection from a Safari webpage to someone, only to see that copying from Safari and pasting in Mail was preserving the source’s custom fonts and colors, which I didn’t want in my message. Here’s what happens if you paste rich text copied from Safari into a Mail message. As you can see in the screenshots below, you can choose whether to search for iPhone, iPad, or Mac apps at runtime additionally, you can configure the action to search in another international App Store by tapping the ‘Region’ parameter and choosing a different country. App Store for apps that match your query, returning up to 10 results. Then, thanks to the built-in ‘Search App Store’ action, the shortcut searches the U.S. The shortcut starts by asking you for the name of the app you’re looking for with an ‘Ask for Input’ action. I use this shortcut whenever I mention an app on MacStories or the MacStories Weekly newsletter – it’s even pinned to my iPad’s dock since it’s a shortcut I invoke multiple times a week. Open the default watch later queue in the official YouTube app for iPhone and iPad.įile this under “I can’t believe I never actually shared this shortcut before”: for years now, I’ve been using a shortcut that lets me search the App Store for a specific app, then copies its link to the clipboard. For this reason, I was able to take my existing shortcut to subscribe to RSS feeds with Fiery Feeds and easily adapt it to NetNewsWire. As John highlighted in his review of the app, one of the best aspects of NetNewsWire is its integration with modern iOS technologies such as dark mode, keyboard shortcuts on iPad, context menus, and parameter-based shortcuts. I’m liking NetNewsWire a lot, and I’m giving it a try as my go-to RSS reader for a while (more on this experiment soon, if it goes well). You can read our review of the new iPhone and iPad app here. Let’s dig in.Įarlier this week, the folks at Ranchero released the iOS and iPadOS version of NetNewsWire, the popular RSS client that was rebooted on the Mac last year as an open-source project. I’ve also created shortcuts to reopen the watch later queue in the YouTube app, copy app links from the App Store, and copy a webpage selection from Safari as rich text.įurthermore, exclusively for Club MacStories members, I’ve created an advanced shortcut to upload images to a remote FTP server and copy their public URLs to the clipboard. ![]() ![]() Following this week’s launch of NetNewsWire for iPhone and iPad, I’ve adapted an existing shortcut to let you subscribe to feeds using the popular RSS client. ![]() ![]() The Shortcuts Corner is a regular section of our MacStories Weekly newsletter, exclusive to Club MacStories members, where I share advanced shortcuts and respond to readers’ requests for automation.įor this week’s installment of the Shortcuts Corner, I’ve prepared quite an assortment of miscellaneous shortcuts to share with MacStories readers and Club MacStories members (because I’ve been spending all my time at home due to the state of emergency in Italy, I’ve been reorganizing my entire Shortcuts library, among other things).
