In the past days, I continued working on optimising my blog setup.

I’m very happy with the “write on Tumblr” workflow I made possible thanks to Claude and Github Actions. That’s what I use mostly on mobile…but I don’t like the Tumblr interface enough to also use it on my laptop.

Now I set up an Alfred workflow that helps me publish these notes faster on my MacBook. It works like this:

  1. To write, I open iA writer and write my thing. If I want to use images, I just drag them in there (they don’t get displayed by iA writer, but I’m okay with that for now). Once I’m done, I save the markdown file on my Desktop as note.md.
  2. To publish, I run „publish note“ in Alfred. Then the script automatically moves the note into the right blog folder and the images in the right image folder. It adds a front matter and commits the note and images to GitHub.

At least that’s the plan. Which me luck. This is a test post.
