The UI front still has a long way to go but I found that Shortcuts in iOS has some pretty powerful abilities if you know what you’re doing.

My partner and I have a shortcut for “what floor is the car on” since the car is parked in a neighboring garage without assigned spots. We have a shared note and the shortcut appends a line with the date and floor on it. A second shortcut will read the last line of the note and parse the floor and present it.

Shortcut hacks we found:

- parse text from a shared note. Remember scaling is a non-issue.

- there is a “ssh to a server” shortcut option to trigger python scripts or background tasks (or home assistant, etc)

- edit on mac app

- iOS major updates break things :(
