It probably means you are not sending the correct input to the Shortcut with the Applescript in the Workflow, or you are sending an empty input. You can check this on the Shortcuts side yourself by setting it to "if there's no input" to "continue" and as the first action, showing an alert that tell you the actual Input... that should tell you what you are actually sending (or not) to the Shortcut from Alfred. I do have an updated version of the Shortcut and workflow so you may want to check that out if you haven't already, and it does a few more complex things: ua-cam.com/video/0HYgtd2ojIg/v-deo.html

I just see it more like a separate skillset. It won't stop you from being able to write with finger movement (which is what we are mostly using when writing print), but it can rather teach you how to use other muscles-muscles that make it much more comfortable to write. I very rarely write in print these days, but when I do I notice that it's still the same bad as it was before haha... it also makes me realize how much more comfortable writing with muscular movement is.

Hi there! The main difference is that Skillshare encourages teachers to include a project for students to upload, promoting more interaction within the community. For Udemy, I've-mostly-adapted this by suggesting students create projects to track their own progress, as the platform lacks a built-in system for this. Skillshare also allows me to reference external content a bit more, especially in intro videos. I prefer Skillshare as a platform overall, but content-wise the classes are pretty much the same :)

@@afadingthought Thanks a lot for the reply.

Hi! The only way I can replicate this error is when I have something on my clipboard that is something else other than the url to the RW book. Are you sharing to the Shortcut directly from Safari? if you are on a different browser then you do have to make sure you only have the URL on plain text on your clipboard.

Thank you for the kind words :)

Sync is currently one-way only (from Reader -> Readwise), so modifying the highlight on Readwise doesn't change anything back on Reader. They are still somehow "connected", since I can easily link back to the original source in Reader from within Readwise, but the highlight itself doesn't create conflict.

Hi! Do you see any error popup? The "Kiki Chat" keyword does require an input right in there, unlike the presets, if empty it will show an error in a popup. If you did an AI request and got nothing back, try it while opening the debugger mode (CMD + D), do you see any error there? Also, how did you set it up? Did you fill up all the services? only one? or which model name? All of this can help me help you :)

@@afadingthought Thank you for your support. I don't get any error, it doesn't matter if I write text in Kiki Chat or not. I hit "enter" and the Alfred window disappears. I just set the OpenAI API string and the Kiki folder, using 3.5 model. I will have a look to debugger ASAP but please in the meantime if you have ideas just let me know. Maybe I can send you a screencast in some way... Thank you so much!

@@francescofornaro I just did a quick recording for you where I go over the most basic setup (as you have it) and give you a few ideas of what to check. In summary, it could be JQ, curl, or something within your system (which will most likely appear in Alfred's debugger). Do make sure that you have your API token written correctly and without any misspellings as that could also be it. Here's a clip for you (will be live for a week): dropover.cloud/8d8d80#9dbb5674-cb78-4002-a727-9f17f87f1be8

@@afadingthought Hi, now it worked. Basically I installed Homebrew via Terminal, then I installed JQ as well and after that Kiki works. Let me thank you so much for your support!

Hi! Is it the one for Bear and Alfred? This one: afadingthought.substack.com/p/note-taking-with-bear-and-alfred . One thing that has changed since I shared that Shortcut is that users have to go into the Shortcuts app Settings menu, go to the Advanced tab and select "Allow Running Scripts." This is necessary because the Shortcut uses AppleScript to grab the name of the source app where text is selected. This is the one thing that I can think of, but if this doesn't fix it for you let me know, and if there's any error messages that'd also help.

@@afadingthought ua-cam.com/video/0HYgtd2ojIg/v-deo.htmlsi=yynu8cLoGYzBuw3V&t=160 you are calling an Apple shortcut if I understood well? that's the one. When you say I use a shortcut that what's you mean Robert?

Glad to know you find it useful!

I try to add comments both for advanced users and for myself (it definitely helps with memory whenever I need to fix or modify something). I'm also very thankful to other Shortcut creators who add comments, as it's been a huge learning resource :) Glad you find this useful!

Oh interesting. I'd never heard of G2mail. Will check it out, thank you!

Thank you so much! I am glad you find this useful. I just published a video on the Shortcut (it's for Readwise-the highlights manager-and not Reader though): ua-cam.com/video/sJ4JWAv8xao/v-deo.html

Hi thanks! I tried Omnivore a while back and found it great for the 'Read-it-Later' functionality. I also remember it having an awesome TTS. However, from my understanding, it doesn't offer the Highlights Review & spaced repetition capabilities that drew me to Readwise as a Highlights Manager-actually, I haven't found this feature in any other app but it's now an integral part of my system. It does get confusing because Readwise (the highlights manager) and Readwise Reader are two separate things. I wonder now if Omnivore provides a similar highlights review workflow... may be time for me to check it out again.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the kind words. It means a lot! I'll continue trying to provide valuable and thoughtful information to the best of my abilities :)

Hi! I totally get where you're coming from about Readwise seeming complicated at first. It took me a while to get used to it too, especially with the addition of their read-it-later app, Reader. The options, features, and customization available (in Reader) can be quite overwhelming. The name shared by both apps makes everything a bit more confusing. The main thing I wanted to highlight (no pun intended!) in my video was the Highlights Review feature in Readwise. Even if you prefer using Instapaper or Pocket for reading and saving articles, I think this feature is worth checking out because I haven’t found it anywhere else. It uses spaced repetition to resurface your highlights at optimal times, helping you remember and engage with the ideas you've saved. For me, this has just been HUGE in terms of interacting with my highlights in a more active way. Before trying to get the hang of Readwise I was only seeing articles or interacting with them at the document level, but doing this layered highlighting (inspired by Tiago Forte's progressive summarization technique) together with the “Highlights Review” has allowed me to see connections between individual ideas from different sources that I might not have noticed otherwise. In a way Readwise is a tool that has allowed me to take distilling to a level I just couldn’t before. It has also allowed me to interact with notes or highlights that would otherwise would have just stayed untouched or forgotten inside Bear. Of course, everyone's workflow is different, and what works for me might not be the best fit for you. If you do decide to give Readwise another try, I'd suggest focusing on the Highlights Review and seeing if it adds value to your PKM process. And if not, no worries - stick with what works for you! Thanks again for watching and for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate the feedback and the opportunity to discuss this stuff!

Thank you!!

I found it. Keystroke Pro

The app does have one area to assign functions to "Generic Devices" but I haven't tested with any myself. I suggest you check out the trial.

For the most part I'm only using the "c" keyword to send stuff to my "inbox" note and the keyboard shortcut to make a new note. These days (which is about a year after this video) most of my highlighting and capturing from different sources is done in Reader/Readwise so I don't really use all of the other keyboard shortcuts available in the Alfred workflow. Still, I left them there to give some flexibility and customization options to the users. If you need them feel free to set them up to whatever is easy to remember (and whatever is available in your system).

Happy to know it's helpful, thank you for the kind words! 🙏

Thank you!🙏

It's still there in the description. You can always get the latest update from the links in this article too: afadingthought.substack.com/p/note-taking-with-bear-and-alfred . I think I'll just pin it in a comment to make it easier to find.

Thanks man! Hope you find it useful. I use it everyday myself.

Of course! I'll be using it mainly for translations, spelling and grammar corrections, making summaries of texts and so on…@@afadingthought

Hi Melike, thank you SO MUCH for your comment. I am so happy that you find the useful and that it inspired you to pick up your One-Line-A-Day journal again! I just looked it up and I think it is-like you say-the physical version of the On This Day. I think I put together the journaling class a bit over a year ago but I have personally continued journaling every single day (I guess I don’t even think about whether I feel I want or not, it’s just sort of automatic) and it truly has been very transformative and a huge source of ideas, inspiration, expression, and personal growth. It truly puts life into perspective. These days I write about four A5 pages every morning when getting up, and two short digital entries by the end of the day. A few months ago I got myself a Midori traveler’s notebook, passport size, with the idea to jot down quick notes during the day instead of annotating on my phone, but it’s been really hard to change that habit and do tend to take more quick notes on my phone still, which inspire other journaling entries later in the day or the next day. The Midori notebook is beautiful though, I am still trying to find I some consistent use haha. I am really happy to read you, honestly some of these classes are just out there and very few times I know if they made a difference to anyone, so I really thank you for letting me know, it made my day. All the best to you and hope you continue journaling.

Thank you!

There's this other video where I go more into detail on the Alfred workflow: ua-cam.com/video/0HYgtd2ojIg/v-deo.htmlsi=OF0RHSYV_4-8l1BZ

@@afadingthought Thanks, I will check it out later on today.

Hi! I haven't really updated the popclip extension shown in the video because in the end I was finding it a bit too slow. ToolVox has received a couple of updates since its release and I'm not quite sure if the extension continues to work properly or not. Here's the link: github.com/afadingthought/aft-shortcuts/blob/main/ToolVoxAIPopClip.txt ... I do not have plans to update it because I am almost done creating an Alfred workflow that is much faster, has similar functionality, and I believe it can even integrate with popclip in a better/faster/simpler way - will share soon.

Ok cool ! Can you then make a video about your new workflow with Alfred (btw we need to buy Alfred package to be able to use your workflow) @@afadingthought

@@augustewolfromm8231 yeah I do plan to make a video where I go over it in detail. ToolVox is still great for iOS, but for some reason it's too feature heavy for Mac OS and is a bit slow there (still not so hard to customize with 3rd party apps though some AppleScript). I believe the Alfred workflow will require the pro pack.

I have an Inbox tag becuase I think the GTD overall workflow is very intuitive for me and helps me a lot with being organized without being overwhelmed. My Inbox tag is just like a "bucket" where I pour whatever I need temporarily. If it's just a sentence, an idea, some words, a phrase or quote... something short... then it goes to my Inbox tag to my Inbox titled note. If it's something that starts to grow bigger, like if I'm gathering already information on topics or something I'm interested in in a note, then that will go in a separate note also in under my inbox tag. But it's meant to be temporary. If in my weekly review I decide to make these notes or ideas into projects then I'll just move them out, or maybe I'll just make them a separate note and archive them, or maybe I'll just delete them. But yeah, without an inbox tag I'd be all over the place.

One thing I'm trying to figure out in BEAR NOTES is: how do you take a resource that is tagged as a project also and archive the project but not the resource? @@afadingthought

Archives are the most valuable thing in PARA because they contain all your successful projects of the past. They serve as blueprints for similar projects in the present/future. So how do you keep every note you used for a project in archives (even though it may contain resources notes that you want to return to the resources tag? @@afadingthought
