- iambateman 4y agoThanks! I’m happy to answer questions if you have any: Stephen at bate-man.com. It’s a bit of a Wild West right now so there are very few resources. I just started building a couple tools using the shortcuts app (it comes with a builder GUI). The system is more powerful than it looks. You can pull HTML from pages, grab all the links, do for each loops, if statements, variables, etc. the biggest drawbacks are (1) the UI in the shortcuts app is targeted at non-developers and (2) not all features are supported on older devices and (3) you can’t issue “updates”, so once you share a shortcut it’s just out there and (4) people don’t usually have context for what a shortcut is. But in exchange you get instant, one-click install without an approval process. It’s pretty cool!
