https://www.brentac.com/blog/2017/1/14/stitching-screenshots-with-workflow
January 14, 2017. Stitching Screenshots with Workflow. January 14, 2017. I thought I would look at another Workflow. That I use on a semi-regular basis. I call it Screenshot Stitcher. I use this when I want to take a screenshot of something that is longer than the actual screen of the iPhone. In fact I used it in my post about Re-Using a checklist. When I showed a picture of the full workflow. This workflow requires the use of another app called LongScreen. With input being a variable action in workflow).

March 30, 2017. Brief Thoughts on Spider-Man: Homecoming. March 30, 2017. Brief Thoughts on Spider-Man: Homecoming. March 30, 2017. With how much I obsess over the DCCW, This might be a little bit of a surprise but Spider-Man is my favorite comics character. I absolutely loved the Tobey Maguire movies (well, the first two) and I adored the first Andrew Garfield movie, but felt less positive about the sequel. All of that said, there were aspects that just never felt right. The Future of Workflow MacStories.

March 21, 2017. Using Drafts and Workflow to Help Me Speak. March 21, 2017. Annoyingly I've had a bad cough lately. I woke up this morning unable to talk. Now this time is not as bad as it would normally be because I happen to have the week off and today was already planned on me being solo for the most part. And typically anyone I communicate with would be texting anyway. And if I want I can certainly write or type something quickly to show someone if I need to get across more detail.

February 11, 2017. Workflow and Magic Variables. February 11, 2017. Workflow and Magic Variables. February 11, 2017. Did something amazing this week and released version 1.7. The marquee feature is Magic Variables, something explained far better on Macstories. Than I could hope too. But in a nutshell, Magic Variables remove the vast bulk of reasons why someone might have to use the Set Variable. Actions because you're now able to grab each actions output without manually setting it as a variable.

Open Webpages in iCab Mobile with Workflow
http://www.brentac.com/blog/2017/4/6/open-webpages-in-icab-mobile-with-workflow
April 6, 2017. Open Webpages in iCab Mobile with Workflow. April 6, 2017. Lately I have been frustrated by a couple web pages that I go to on a regular basis, that refuse to show me Desktop versions on my iPhone or iPad. This would happen in Safari or Google Chrome. I finally looked at other websites and settled on iCab Mobile. Which I can set to always present my device as a desktop, and so far from my tests it's been working for me. Like my recent posts on opening webpages in Chrome. For iCab as well.
