Obsidian is an excellent app, but oddly it doesn’t fit my workflow. Here’s why I keep coming back to BBEdit, Marked 2, and my existing stack instead.

I built a Shortcut that takes the same Markdown file I use for my Hugo site’s Newsletter Archive and publishes it directly to Buttondown. One file, two destinations, no extra work.

A playful Shortcut that uses AppleScript, Shortcuts, and LM Studio to automatically draft hilariously rude replies to spam emails.

Using three clever Shortcuts and the Kasa cloud API, you can log in, list devices, and control TP-Link Kasa smart plugs and switches directly from Shortcuts—no Homebridge required.

A simple Shortcut that converts any date—or the current one—into Unix time, perfect for APIs, logging, and automation workflows.

A flexible Shortcut that dynamically calculates the start and end of the current week and fetches only your calendar events within that range.

With a couple of Shortcuts and the SwitchBot Web API, I can fetch my devices and send commands directly—no app required.

This Shortcut takes an App Store link and automatically generates a Hugo-ready app card with the app’s name, icon, and URL—saving it straight to your clipboard.

A Shortcut that turns any Mac app—App Store or direct download—into a polished Hugo app card with its icon, name, and link, all triggered as an Alfred File Action.

A Shortcut that takes an iCloud Shortcut link, grabs its metadata and icon, and turns it into a ready-to-paste Hugo app card.
