So, I just found @raycast.com last week and had an idea for an extension.

I have a custom GPT I made to help me turn CSV files from our Amazon sales data into a better format with totals for ASINs and trimming titles.

So far so good!

Not quite webdev, but it’s .tsx so…?

#webdev #buildinpublic

Three stacked screenshots of a macOS desktop running a CSV processing app called “CleanSheets.” The app interface shows features like keyword filtering, title trimming, and total calculations. The first image displays the welcome screen with features listed. The second shows a platform selection screen with Amazon enabled and Shopify/Walmart marked as “coming soon.” The third shows the Amazon CSV processing form with fields for selecting a file, output filename, and specifying column names. The desktop wallpaper features a humorous image of a green Muppet-like character and a sloth wearing reflective sunglasses.

Two column menus are supported in Shortcut Menus! This was a tricky one.

#webdev #buildinpublic

Screenshot of an iOS Shortcut using the Shortcuts app. At the top, a prompt asks “Which one?” showing a two-column menu option titled “Two Column Menus!” with the subtitle “Secondary Text.” Below, there’s a preview of a vCard in text format with the name “Two Column Menus!” and a telephone field labeled with type “Secondary Text” and value “Subtitle.” The automation steps include setting the name of a text to “mainMenu.vcf” and choosing from phone numbers. The time is 1:26 PM, and the phone shows full signal, 5G connection, and 100% battery.

@the-coder-guy.bsky.social Any update on being able to change profile pictures?

Or can you delete my profile and I can re-add it?

Right on, just claimed my username. I messes up on my profile image link though. Anyway to change it? I don't see one.

I'll likely get around to posting Shortcut Menus there tomorrow!

Thanks!

Super stoked to `release` beta 4 of Shortcut Menus!!

A few new features, many of which were requests by people on /r/shortcuts and the Shortcuts Discord server.

It now supports:

✅ Custom Images
✅ Multiple Menu Options
✅ An easter egg for today...

And more to come soon!

I got multiple menu options working in my web app for iOS Shortcut VCARD menus!

I’m going to do some more testing before releasing though. I had to refactor a 450+ line typescript file into 10+ other components so I want to make sure it’s working.

I fixed it this morning. It had something to do with Safari not liking await when using `navigator.clipboard.write`.

jpasholk @jpshlk.com · Mar 26

Wow, Mobile Safari is really giving me a tough time with the clipboard api. I might have to call it a night and try to fix this tomorrow...

New project I'm working on to take a break from other side projects.

A menu builder web app for iOS Shortcuts!

It should help make the process of creating VCARD menus a lot easier.

Using Lucide icons, but will add more in the future.

Building it with Astro and Tailwind.

Yeah for sure!!

I know Shortcuts itself is a super niche thing, and VCARD menu Shortcuts even more so. But I figured if I can make the process easier then maybe more people will get into it.

That and I just love building things and learning more about the web.

jpasholk @jpshlk.com · Mar 26

I plan on adding a tutorial for how to create VCARD menus and link to some other good resources that I’ve found on them as well.

I’ll also add links to download starter Shortcuts to copy the results into.

If anyone is interested in testing let me know.

Congrats! That can be a pain in the a$$.

I remember a buddy and I spending all day on a three way switch in a small garage remodel a few years back.

Okay I think I may know what's happening here...

My GitHub folder is in the Documents folder and stored in iCloud, and I had "Optimize Mac Storage" turned on.

I turned it off and hopefully that will fix it.

That was driving me crazy...

I just wonder how tf that happened. Do dependencies just randomly disappear or something? 🤔

jpasholk @jpshlk.com · Mar 21

Today when I tried running `npm run dev` Astro couldn’t spin up a local server because some module wasn’t found…

Ended up needing to delete all my node packages, clear the cache, and reinstall.

Thing is, I have no idea why this happened. I didn’t make any changes.
