Is it possible to schedule a post on Micro.blog through a Drafts action? @mtt
Through MarsEdit? @danielpunkass @miraz
@pratik @danielpunkass @miraz Not that I’m aware of. And the API doc on posting doesn’t list that as an option.
@pratik MarsEdit certainly has a date and time selection tool for a post. I haven’t tried scheduling a Micro.Blog for the future but presume it works just fine.
@Mtt @pratik @danielpunkass My test just now worked fine. Set posting for about 5 minutes in the future and it published at my selected time.
@pratik In that case I’m going to mention Keyboard Maestro — create a palette to display in MarsEdit (or just a global palette). Click the button on the palette and bingo! it does the keystroke / menu choice for you. 😀 I use Keyboard Maestro so much for so many small and large things on my Mac.
@pratik Yeah, you can send from Drafts directly to M.b as a draft instead of published. You’d just need to edit the Action and add the parameter “post-status=draft”. You could also accomplish this with Shortcuts.
@pratik Goodness, that would be a long post! I’ll have a think about it though and see what I can write up.
@pratik You shouldn’t have to reference it again. I can take a look when I get back from holiday travel if you haven’t figured it out by then.
@pratik At last … I wrote this up a few days ago and thought I could maybe improve it. Instead you have this: miraz.me/2023/01/0… 😀
@pratik You’re very welcome. I hope it provides a taste of what it can be used for. Feel free to ask questions. 😀
@crossingthethreshold Thanks for reading. That didn’t cover all my uses by far, but I hope it gave a good taster. I’ve used KM for years now and regularly end up deleting old macros because the world has moved on.
