The article was posted.. yesterday, and the entire reason given for not using the builtin Shortcuts sharing feature is... an article from 2 years ago, about a bug in the shortcuts hosting service, which has obviously been fixed.
I get that some people will want to create it from scratch themselves or incorporate the actual meat of it into a larger shortcut... but not sharing one that does what the article says, because of a bug 2 years ago, is a bit of a weird take.
- gregsadetsky 3y agosorry, that link may have been a cheap shot... but I did try to export the shortcut I created, and kept getting an error about not being signed in to icloud...! and I am signed in to icloud. it's just so confusing. why can't shortcuts be exported as ... shortcut files? it's not ideal to have people recreate the shortcut step by step (which is what I ended up describing in my post) but... I couldn't find a better way..! :-) if you'd be able to recreate the shortcut and share it, and post the link here (and/or email it to me), I'd love to place that in the blog article! thank you
- stephenr 3y agoIt seemed to work on iOS (https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/cd7d2c5e63d8482ab0618e163bbc2cad https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/cd7d2c5e63d8482ab0618e163bb...) I'll try it again on macOS when I'm back at my desk. Edit: also works on macOS Sonoma (https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/6216aa9072144846adcaae69a5a920fa https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/6216aa9072144846adcaae69a5a...) - this one has all input sources selected, the iOS created one has only images/media/pdfs/files/rich text selected for input.
