Pete Prodoehl 🍕I've been messing around with Apple Shortcuts lately, and I guess you can call them from the command line, which is neat.

The other half of this is that I've been messing with a-Shell which runs on iOS and can run command line stuff, (including Python scripts) and you can use Apple Shortcuts to run CLI stuff via a-Shell on iOS so yeah, that's pretty neat!
I feel like some of the scripting stuff I always wanted to do on iOS is possible.

So even though we tend to view iOS as this locked-down platform (And it is!) there are some cracks in the wall that allow you to do things.
It *should* be easier but I guess too many clueless people started using computers and too many malicious people started targeting those people and then we put computers into everyone's pocket and well. Blah.
