By the way, the two shortcuts I worked on for this client — whoa, that feels a little weird to say — were ones that he’d already made and just wanted cleaned up and their functionality expanded. I leave plenty of comments in the finished shortcut so that you can understand what’s going on and edit it afterward, too.

A few months ago, I started a Shortcut that use Charty on iOS to build a visual graph of my Plausible analytics within a widget. I still don’t know when I’m going to get this finished.

@rcrackley They were two blogging shortcuts. One that gathered a bunch of info about the current location and weather, asked for a photo and text, and then offered a bunch of options for how to format the final blog post with specific metadata. The second one was for photo blogging. It gathered a bunch of photos, resized and uploaded them, set captions for each, and then assembled it all into a blog post to publish or save as a draft.

@numericcitizen Whoa — an app, a web API, Shortcuts, and widgets all rolled up into one? Sounds like a beast.

@rcrackley Why thank you! 😊

it is. Interested?

@numericcitizen I’ll take a look! I haven’t done anything with Charty before, but I’m always up for learning something new. Do you want to send over what you have so far and I can let you know if I think it’s in my wheelhouse?

I’ll go on your website and submit this information.

I’ll write you an email, I just found you contact info! Let’s see where it goes!

@numericcitizen You rock! 🤘 Can you let me know what you think of the request flow? I’ve not had the chance to try it myself.

wow! Congratulations!

I remember the days of Kodak’s DigitaOS scripting on the digital camera - got myself a similar gig and even won another digital camera in a competition. LOL.

are you a Craft user? I could share a document where you could interact with me… otherwise, by email!

@numericcitizen I do love email. 🙂
