We're doing final beta testing of a new “Mail Drop" feature that allows you to send email to Drafts. If that's something you might find useful and would like to help testing, signup for the beta! https://docs.getdrafts.com/beta/

I never blog anymore.
In 2022, it was for personal reasons, but recently I felt publishing to my Jekyll blog involved too many steps, and that was a good enough excuse to only write here.
Inspired by a conversation with @lucas and by the impressive https://blot.im, but unwilling to sink many hours to completely rework my blog, I've found an interesting solution thanks to gitwatch and a couple custom @drafts actions.

TIP: We updated our popular "New Draft with Template" workflow with support for `<|field>` style fill-in placeholders, with example actions for navigating to next/previous placeholders in a draft to complete values. It's pretty slick. If you haven’t set templates in Drafts, check it out! https://forums.getdrafts.com/t/tip-creating-new-drafts-with-templates/4253

Fellow Internet users, I think I may have a #Drafts problem. I currently have well over 1,200 actions across 60 action groups. Do I need an intervention?
How many do you have?

Inspired by @drdrang’s AppleScript for BBEdit, I made a similar Markdown Footnote action for @drafts. https://directory.getdrafts.com/a/2Gm
TIP: On the Mac, use "Workspaces" menu to apply a workspace, sure, obvious enough...but did you know you can hold down the "Option" key when doing it to open the workspace in a new window?

Wrote a short blogpost about #Draftodon where I share why I started developing it in the first place and briefly introduce the @drafts Action Group on my blog. I also mentioned a few things that will come in the next update(s) - if you're interested:

Made some progress on #Draftodon
Using @drafts to schedule posts on @Mastodon with options to update the scheduled posts 👍🏼
Also built some actions to publish polls and worked on the documentation 👌🏼
What else do you need as Actions for Drafts?
RFC: Markdown Parsers. If you have advanced Markdown output needs, please comment on what you might like to see in the next update. Details: https://forums.getdrafts.com/t/rfc-markdown-parsers/13954
TIP: Want to write email in Markdown, and send as rich-text HTML mail? This option is built-in to Drafts on iOS, but can also be done on the Mac by installing our Mail Assistant utility app.
Mail Assistant can also be used to send HTML email via URL schemes or Shortcuts from app other than Drafts.
...The new template helper in Drafts 36 makes it a lot easy to build most common template tags when constructing action steps, including common examples of advanced tags, like formatted dates/times.
