Summer Vacation Mode (No Daily Dogos)

This is just a short note letting you know that I am on vacation next week and since I am not planning to take my laptop with me, I may or may not - probably not - post Daily Dogos throughout the week as this is a thing that I have yet to figure out how to do from my phone/iPad. I think I have a shortcut that is 95% there I created like 2 months ago, but I was unable to look at it before we left and so it probably doesn't work as things have changed since then.[1]

Rest assured that I will "fix the streak" when I come back, so no need to worry. The dog pics will continue and Napu is fine. :)

  1. If you are curious: It uses Working Copy, S3 Files & Storage and Scriptable and obviously Apple Shortcuts. In a word: it's pretty complex. It pulls the Git repo, figures out the latest daily dogo from the rss feed, asks for alt text, puts the post in the right place in the file hierarchy, uploads the image to the S3-compatible object storage, commits the new post and pushes to the repo on Github. I think that's it. It's kind of a lot for such a clunky automation tool... ↩︎
