I’ve been going down a rabbit hole for the last 5 or so hours trying to work out what “value” is added to one of my blog posts if I use the Post Kinds plugin. As I’m publishing a lot of my content using @Draftsapp I can automatically markup the entries by either using Text Expander snippets or by having different Draft workflows for each “kind” of blog post.
@aaronpk is there any way you can take a look at my account in ownyourswarm, it says I’m connected to 40 other accounts. I’m guessing they’re from previous attempts to connect it to my blog.

Just downloaded the @draftsapp Mac beta, despite actions not being available yet, it’s awesome. I think I just found a place I can build my Memex!
Drafts 5.4: Siri Shortcuts, WordPress, and More – MacStories
Drafts 5 was recently updated to version 5.4, which brings a host of new features. While there is support for iOS 12's Siri shortcuts and all that they have to offer, there are also other important features that have improved the app's capabilities significantly.
None of those creatures are completely terrifying, not a single one of them…
Eight months ago, I deactivated my Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp accounts. Four months ago, I deleted those accounts entirely. And now that I’m outside the Facebook bubble, I wanted describe what that’s been like, for anyone curious about the other side.
Producing, Recording, Editing, and Sharing Animated Videos on iPad
A significant part of my pedagogical approach involves the creation of short, animated videos that convey statistical concepts. Students watch these videos and answer a few quiz questions, which I can then use to make better use of the time we have in class together.
Really cool workflow, could be handy for some upcoming Meditrend projects.
Reading comics on the new iPad Pros
I love reading comics on my iPad Pro. The iPad is the best thing to happen to comics since four-color printing.
I’m looking for a new RSS reader. I really don’t like the latest update to Feedly, in particular how they’ve changed the long press/force touch mechanism.
Instead of being able to assign force touch directly to an outcome, i.e. Save to Pocket, you’re now forced to do it via the share sheet. With just that extra step, it’s taking me a lot longer to triage my feeds now.
Any suggestions?
Playing around with some stuff on my website, needed a photo to post and I don’t think I’ve posted this one before now.
I think about my workflows way too much.
