Hey HN!<p>I’m very excited to release something I’ve been working on for the last month-or-so, Shortcuts JS.<p>Since Shortcuts was released with iOS 12 earlier this year I’ve been really interested in the idea of building Shortcuts with code, rather than with the Shortcuts app. After a bit of hacking around I figured out a way to do it, and so started building Shortcuts JS.<p>Hopefully this is something that others find as useful as I do!<p>Happy to answer any questions!
Is there a way to search for shortcuts that are publicly shared via iCloud? There have been a few articles with lists of public shortcuts, but there's no equivalent of a directory or search engine for discovery of shortcuts or workflow automation ideas. A similar issue exists with iOS application-specific URLs for deep-linking on device.<p>We also need a guide for application developers who are exposing interfaces via URLs or Shortcuts, if only to recommend interface patterns that have proven valuable in many workflows.
