I’ve been meaning to try Scriptable for a long time, and finally gave it a spin today. It’s SO MUCH better than using Shortcuts’ scripting language! Not only did I get my “upcoming birthdays” script working the way that I wanted it to, I was able to fix a date range bug in JS that I couldn’t figure out how to do in Shortcuts. Plus, as a bonus, now I’ve got a widget using my script that works with parameters. All this after noodling around for just part of the afternoon. Thanks so much for Scriptable.

So you now how Scriptable only reads JavaScript, right. If so, then you know what I’m talking about. But I have a big favor to ask of you. Please add support for HTML. That’s like, the ONLY coding language I know. So, once again, please add HTML support. -IvanGames12321 Great, but needs a MAJOR update. So you now how Scriptable only reads JavaScript, right.

I have been preparing for a talk at upcoming Claris Engage conference to be held in Austin, TX - I have been using it to fetch FileMaker data and surface that data in different ways. As a small chart or list of top sales, but there are so many possibilities. A big thank you to Simon for making this great tool freely available. Combine this with Siri and shortcuts and there are incredible on demand interactions that we can deliver. Scriptable is so cool!

This app is the all purpose app for the ubiquitous all purpose computer we carry with us everywhere. I know almost nothing and yet I was able to make my phone do what no other app available would do. Also, it was recommended by Chat GPT based upon my query! Just The Tip This app is the all purpose app for the ubiquitous all purpose computer we carry with us everywhere.
