@Miraz If you’re reading on an iOS device, the Share command works well too. (Highlight the text you want to clip, choose the Share icon at the bottom of the screen, and choose Micro.blog from the list of apps.)
Always good to have choices! (And kudos to the NetNewsWire team for all the wonderful things it does, including AppleScript!)
@the I just checked the Mac and that Share possibility exists there as well. The thing is I abandoned the iOS and Mac MB apps ages ago because various things were a constant source of frustration and showed no signs of ever being ‘fixed’. I use the web interface almost exclusively as it gives me a much better experience.
@Miraz i was wrestling with this very problem myself and @crossingthethreshold shared a really neat shortcut that I use all the time from netnewswire to drafts - which is where everything sits until it ends up somewhere else - not just micro blog.
The great thing is that the shortcut isn’t NNW specific - it just creates a markdown title plus URL syntax from any app I am using to drafts.
@JohnPhilpin That’s interesting. I haven’t got into Shortcuts, generally using one of or a combo of TextExpander, Keyboard Maestro and Applescript to achieve my ends. While I own and use Drafts for some things my preferred working app is BBEdit.
