[schmarty] yeah the venue matching has been the thing that bogs me down here.
#
aaronpk i did it!
#
aaronpk now to make the simplest shortcut that is share target
#
aaronpk it's very cool that it grabs the post text from the photo itself
#
[tantek] what is shortcut
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "shortcut" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "shortcut is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] Shortcut is /Shortcuts
#
Loqi ok
#
[tantek] would love to see even a brief tutorial of how that works because all I remember from my 2019 (I think IWC AMS?) attempt to do stuff with Shortcuts was it completely didn't work for really simple things like "select a photo"
#
[tantek] so I gave up on it
#
[tantek] scripting things has gone downhill at Apple across the decades, from simple/reliable to complex/unreliable. HyperTalk -> AppleScript -> Shortcuts
#
GWG [catgirlinspace]: I have my own as well when needed.

GWG aaronpk: Exif dates do have timezones
#
GWG Sorry, catching up
#
GWG This location conversation would make a great pop-up or session
#

[tantek] I posted a bit about this #microformats however it seems worth posting here to see what people get out of the messaging: https://twitter.com/SaraSoueidan/status/1710960167116808448
#
[tantek] conversation has continued in #microformats a bit, however this is making me think there is a *need* here for a webdev-focused blog post about how NOT to give plumbing/browser-centric advice/guidance to webdevs (typically authors / publishers) and how to give publishing-perspective advice instead.
