Posting to Hugo from Drafts
Automation
I’ve recently been playing with the popular Drafts app (macOS, iOS, and iPadOS) and I think I get it. It’s not yet essential to me, but the actions are quite powerful and I can Drafts becoming essential after a little while.
Earlier this year I setup an automation to post from Craft (my long term text app of choice) to C33Tech.com. It works but I question whether or not a blog post really needs to be in my knowledge base. When I started using Drafts it occurred to me that it might be a better fit and the actions would make the automations less janky.
So here we are. This post is coming from Drafts after getting familiar with the Actions script reference, I was able to post this from Drafts, which is pretty cool.
More to come on this topic, but it’s late and I needed a test post!

Sometimes, after rebutting someone’s extreme exuberance over AI or cracking a joke, I feel like people may assume that I don’t like AI or I never use it. That’s not the case at all! I do use it and I integrate it (or advocate for its use) in my CTO role at Ten2 and when consulting but I do take care to use it in situations that make sense, such as text generation, and not places where it doesn’t make sense, such as decision-making.
