As a software engineer, this video has me super excited for the widgets I can make. For a while I have been asking for Amazon Photos to make a widget, similar to the stock Photos app. Fine I will just do it myself *insert Thanos voice* hah
This is a great demo. I've had Scriptable for a long time but not managed to take advantage of it as I couldn't marry up my existing understanding of JS with how to implement it with Scriptable. Now I can have a go. I actually created an iOS shortcut which gets the PDF of bin collections from my local council website and converts it to calendar entries like the one you have. Taking this to the next level with your widget example I reckon :)
After using android for more than 10 years, my main gripe about my iphone was the lack of custom widgets as can be done on android with apps such as KWGT Kustom Widget Maker. This tutorial helps me solve solve this! Thanks!
Great video. If anyone doing programming professionally still feels confused about a synchronous programming, they probably should look for a better use each of their time. By the way JSON stands for, as you said ,JavaScript object notation, which in turn means that you can use regular dot access method of JavaScript objects. “req.response” etc, it’s not like python. Thank you for putting together this detailed explanation
Wow! Scriptable always seemed a little “too much” for me to use. That is, until I stumbled upon your video! Thank you! You do a fantastic job of explaining the complex nuances of code in a way that keeps it simple, on task, and easy to understand. In particular I appreciate that you left in all the typos and mistakes (like needing to add “await”). I learn the most my from mistakes; but I prefer to learn from someone else’s! LOL Kudos from one cloud instructor to another!
This video is super helpful! Would you give thought to doing another one? I’m looking for info that describes how to draw graphs and horizontal and vertical lines, such as if I wanted to do a calendar widget that shows events on a horizontal timeline.
Great video! This finally got me started. One thing I noticed is that your widgets didn’t have any text below them. Is that how it is on iPad? Because I get “Scriptable” below mine on the iPhone.
To read account balances you'll most likely need access to whatever Application Programming Interface (API) your bank exposes. I had a quick search and found the BoA CashPro API: developer.bankofamerica.com/CPODevPortal/apidocs/public/#/home - not sure if this applies to all accounts. That API has a reasonably clean endpoint for accessing balance data: developer.bankofamerica.com/CPODevPortal/apidocs/public/#/api/account-information/cashpro-reporting-v1-balance-inquiries-current-day-post And you can access that using the same Request object like we did for accessing the Pi-hole stats in the video.
Great tutorial but how can you work with shapes? I want to create easy status bar just two rectangles (with round edges) one rectangle on full screen of the widget and second rectangle inside the first one with dynamic width
I am trying to setup a shortcut to open a link and fill out a covid questionnaire that I have to fill out everyday before work. Having trouble wondering if theirs a specific video you have on it that would help. Any help is appreciated thanks.
Why does the App Store have its own English. Why do we say apps on the App Store instead of i the App Store like you would for any other store would you say that jeans are available on Walmart or in Walmart? I bought it on the App Store or from the App Store. I bought that lettuce on the super market, not from the super market.
@@tech_craft true. I guess it's my age showing through. The internet was not alive during the first 3/4 of my life. Thanks for straightening me out.however I would say I bought something from Amazon, not on. It's confusing but you are right about the virtual thing, although I am not sure why. Language interests me. I used to get irritated by people changing Pronunciations etc, but no longer. Now I just wonder why more than anything.
"From" seems common across virtual and physical. I was thinking before that I'd say "From Walmart" and "From Amazon", but then "At/In Walmart" vs. "On Amazon", because I'm not actually at or in Amazon. The notion of linguistic drift fascinates me. I've learned to embrace the idea, but early in my life it really irritated me too!
