@@abdullahahmed00 No problem hope it helps! I didn't even know about the Stitch workflow but PasteFlow also integrates what it does.

Glad to know! By the way, just now I published a small update with an important bug fix. The auto update should kick-in in a few days, but just letting you know in case you want to get it before that happens.

@@hugocastellanos135 Thank you!

That's Kando! github.com/kando-menu/kando <- I have a video planned on this one too.

@@afadingthought Oooh thanks. Looking forward to that video. Consider me subscribed 😊

​@@afadingthought Thank you for sharing the tool. I have been keeping an eye on this type of tool as it is an efficiency hack. I can think of four other alternatives that can achieve similar outcomes. 1. Charmstone mac app 2. Pie Menu mac app 3. "Resize on hover floating menu" from BetterTouchTool 4. TourBox TourMenu, this one requires its hardware to work.

@@linux4960 I purchased Charmstone (but don't use it anymore), and I also have BetterTouchTool (which is very powerful). The outcome or actions can be similar, but when it comes to user experience and flexibility I haven't found found anything that comes close to Kando for mouse-only. I use it as an app launcher, app switcher, with it I control Yabai (windows manager), I trigger Keyboard Maestro macros, Alfred, Workflows, Bettertouchtool Presets, etc. I usually prefer to use keyboard for getting around my system... but Kando basically ports that power to my mouse, and for free :)

@@afadingthought Thank you for the detailed reply. It seems like it's a powerful tool. I will definitely give it a try. The moment I saw your first video, I immediately subscribed! The content matched my needs. Thank you! I've purchased BetterTouchTool and Keyboard Maestro too, and never regret it. For the spotlight-like tool, I use Raycast. I know both of them are great, but that time when I was looking for this kind of tool, Raycast had received a lot of recommendations and exposure.

Hi! I've tried to be as detailed as possible in the documentation, but if there's anything specific you need to know let me know. You will need to have JQ installed (so you probably need to install homebrew first). If you have an Open AI API it actually is super simple to setup, at least for simple quick chats on dialogs-you only need the api token and choose a custom folder. Still, though, you do need JQ or it won't work. github.com/ognistik/kiki-ai-workflow ... you also need Alfred's powerpack, by the way.

@@afadingthought I made it, thanks

Thanks James! That's the `Up Arrow + Return` keyboard shortcut.

Thank you for the keyboard Solar! I think it kind-of changed everything about how I use my computer. Happy to show it off whenever I have a chance 😊

Hi! Thank you for the suggestion! While testing this change I realized that an update on the Shortcuts app seems to have introduced a bug that was preventing me to update the Bear using the Shortut. I found a workaround and updated the shortcut in the original article (if you need it). On regards to the change you mention, the easiest would be to just move those links just below the title. Nothing is affected by doing this, but anywhere else can cause issues that need more modifications. You have to go inside the Shortcut setup and all the way to the bottom make sure it looks like this: substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6d082d7d-cd68-4f40-99e0-f6460a5bedb4_1336x421.jpeg

For Imgur I'm using what I mention at 06:57. Keyboard Maestro finds the shelf, right-clicks it to access the context menu, types 'copy imgur', press return, and brings my mouse back to its original position. It all happens so fast I barely notice it.

@@jen4380 thank you! This made me happy to read, glad it was helpful!

Hi! I haven't tested on Obsidian, but (assuming you are asking about the markdown chat feature) if obsidian can copy markdown line dividers like --- without replacing or adding characters, like I mention on 16:19 , I don't know why it wouldn't work. Other than the markdown features, though, the workflow just uses dialogues and normal copy paste functionality which is not app-dependent. If you encounter any issues let me know and will try to help! When I have chance I plan to do more videos explaining the entire functionality of this workflow and more walk throughs

It probably means you are not sending the correct input to the Shortcut with the Applescript in the Workflow, or you are sending an empty input. You can check this on the Shortcuts side yourself by setting it to "if there's no input" to "continue" and as the first action, showing an alert that tell you the actual Input... that should tell you what you are actually sending (or not) to the Shortcut from Alfred. I do have an updated version of the Shortcut and workflow so you may want to check that out if you haven't already, and it does a few more complex things: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Znm8mKeaZ9Sdf8k

I just see it more like a separate skillset. It won't stop you from being able to write with finger movement (which is what we are mostly using when writing print), but it can rather teach you how to use other muscles-muscles that make it much more comfortable to write. I very rarely write in print these days, but when I do I notice that it's still the same bad as it was before haha... it also makes me realize how much more comfortable writing with muscular movement is.

Hi there! The main difference is that Skillshare encourages teachers to include a project for students to upload, promoting more interaction within the community. For Udemy, I've-mostly-adapted this by suggesting students create projects to track their own progress, as the platform lacks a built-in system for this. Skillshare also allows me to reference external content a bit more, especially in intro videos. I prefer Skillshare as a platform overall, but content-wise the classes are pretty much the same :)

@@afadingthought Thanks a lot for the reply.

Hi! The only way I can replicate this error is when I have something on my clipboard that is something else other than the url to the RW book. Are you sharing to the Shortcut directly from Safari? if you are on a different browser then you do have to make sure you only have the URL on plain text on your clipboard.

Thank you for the kind words :)

Sync is currently one-way only (from Reader -> Readwise), so modifying the highlight on Readwise doesn't change anything back on Reader. They are still somehow "connected", since I can easily link back to the original source in Reader from within Readwise, but the highlight itself doesn't create conflict.

Hi! Do you see any error popup? The "Kiki Chat" keyword does require an input right in there, unlike the presets, if empty it will show an error in a popup. If you did an AI request and got nothing back, try it while opening the debugger mode (CMD + D), do you see any error there? Also, how did you set it up? Did you fill up all the services? only one? or which model name? All of this can help me help you :)

@@afadingthought Thank you for your support. I don't get any error, it doesn't matter if I write text in Kiki Chat or not. I hit "enter" and the Alfred window disappears. I just set the OpenAI API string and the Kiki folder, using 3.5 model. I will have a look to debugger ASAP but please in the meantime if you have ideas just let me know. Maybe I can send you a screencast in some way... Thank you so much!

@@francescofornaro I just did a quick recording for you where I go over the most basic setup (as you have it) and give you a few ideas of what to check. In summary, it could be JQ, curl, or something within your system (which will most likely appear in Alfred's debugger). Do make sure that you have your API token written correctly and without any misspellings as that could also be it. Here's a clip for you (will be live for a week): dropover.cloud/8d8d80#9dbb5674-cb78-4002-a727-9f17f87f1be8

@@afadingthought Hi, now it worked. Basically I installed Homebrew via Terminal, then I installed JQ as well and after that Kiki works. Let me thank you so much for your support!

Hi! Is it the one for Bear and Alfred? This one: afadingthought.substack.com/p/note-taking-with-bear-and-alfred . One thing that has changed since I shared that Shortcut is that users have to go into the Shortcuts app Settings menu, go to the Advanced tab and select "Allow Running Scripts." This is necessary because the Shortcut uses AppleScript to grab the name of the source app where text is selected. This is the one thing that I can think of, but if this doesn't fix it for you let me know, and if there's any error messages that'd also help.

@@afadingthought kzbin.info/www/bejne/Znm8mKeaZ9Sdf8ksi=yynu8cLoGYzBuw3V&t=160 you are calling an Apple shortcut if I understood well? that's the one. When you say I use a shortcut that what's you mean Robert?

Glad to know you find it useful!

I try to add comments both for advanced users and for myself (it definitely helps with memory whenever I need to fix or modify something). I'm also very thankful to other Shortcut creators who add comments, as it's been a huge learning resource :) Glad you find this useful!

Oh interesting. I'd never heard of G2mail. Will check it out, thank you!

Thank you so much! I am glad you find this useful. I just published a video on the Shortcut (it's for Readwise-the highlights manager-and not Reader though): kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXuXe4p3q52rl9E

Hi thanks! I tried Omnivore a while back and found it great for the 'Read-it-Later' functionality. I also remember it having an awesome TTS. However, from my understanding, it doesn't offer the Highlights Review & spaced repetition capabilities that drew me to Readwise as a Highlights Manager-actually, I haven't found this feature in any other app but it's now an integral part of my system. It does get confusing because Readwise (the highlights manager) and Readwise Reader are two separate things. I wonder now if Omnivore provides a similar highlights review workflow... may be time for me to check it out again.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the kind words. It means a lot! I'll continue trying to provide valuable and thoughtful information to the best of my abilities :)

Hi! I totally get where you're coming from about Readwise seeming complicated at first. It took me a while to get used to it too, especially with the addition of their read-it-later app, Reader. The options, features, and customization available (in Reader) can be quite overwhelming. The name shared by both apps makes everything a bit more confusing. The main thing I wanted to highlight (no pun intended!) in my video was the Highlights Review feature in Readwise. Even if you prefer using Instapaper or Pocket for reading and saving articles, I think this feature is worth checking out because I haven’t found it anywhere else. It uses spaced repetition to resurface your highlights at optimal times, helping you remember and engage with the ideas you've saved. For me, this has just been HUGE in terms of interacting with my highlights in a more active way. Before trying to get the hang of Readwise I was only seeing articles or interacting with them at the document level, but doing this layered highlighting (inspired by Tiago Forte's progressive summarization technique) together with the “Highlights Review” has allowed me to see connections between individual ideas from different sources that I might not have noticed otherwise. In a way Readwise is a tool that has allowed me to take distilling to a level I just couldn’t before. It has also allowed me to interact with notes or highlights that would otherwise would have just stayed untouched or forgotten inside Bear. Of course, everyone's workflow is different, and what works for me might not be the best fit for you. If you do decide to give Readwise another try, I'd suggest focusing on the Highlights Review and seeing if it adds value to your PKM process. And if not, no worries - stick with what works for you! Thanks again for watching and for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate the feedback and the opportunity to discuss this stuff!

Thank you!!
