This account is no longer used because Twitter killed off all the good third-party apps and the Twitter app is garbage. Follow on

The Twitter app I use, @tweetbot, has been blocked by Twitter. The official Twitter app is completely unusable garbage. I refuse to use it full time.

As such, I will be unlikely to monitor this account going forward. Please follow on Mastodon for more!

I’m posting pretty frequently on https://t.co/eMK9KBQJNr these days — even more often than on Twitter. Be sure to follow there for all the latest!

Just pushed a new feature to the UpdateKit API: you can request the gallery download URL (i.e., the RoutineHub or ShareShortcuts download URL instead of a direct iCloud URL).

This can be useful if the site tracks download count through this URL.

RoutineHub functionality has been restored and some work on both my side and RH’s should prevent UpdateKit from being rejected anymore in the future.

Big thanks to @routinehub for working on this with me. Go update your shortcuts, everybody.

Quick UpdateKit API news: deployed an update last night that will return the error message from remote services.

Previously it would say something like “The RoutineHub API sent a bad response. It might be experiencing downtime.”

Now it returns the actual error.

Don’t forget to follow UpdateKit on Mastodon for the latest, as I’m slowing moving away from Twitter. I rarely use my personal account anymore.

The self-hosting platform is coming along nicely. Been doing code cleanup and stuff. Trying to decide if I should do a closed beta with one or two people to see how they feel about it. But honestly not sure if I want to do that or just make it public.

[UpdateKit API: https://mastodon.social/@UpdateKit @UpdateKit]

There are still some things I need to do before this is ready for any kind of public release, including all the documentation. But I am very hopeful that it will get released.

I will have more info later.

Extremely on the fence about discussing this publicly right now… but I am kicking around the idea of releasing an open source, (currently-)headless shortcut distribution platform.

I have a lot of endpoints written and I just ran it in the cloud. It’s fast and functional.

There’s a big blue block of text with a caveat for using the UpdateKit API with betas/prerelease versions of your shortcut on https://t.co/07ISaNfRev

This entire caveat is 100% irrelevant for this software. It works the right way out of the box.

Also disabled RoutineHub deployment tests until they get their house in order.

Discovered an issue where some prerelease versions would not be correctly detected.

Current version: 1.0
Server version: 1.0.12-alpha1
Check for prerelease: true

The current version having fewer . segments than the server version caused it.

Fixed and added a test case.

@atnbueno Pretty good idea if you have to use the site. Personally I would try to avoid using it at all just to be safe.

[UpdateKit API: https://mastodon.social/@UpdateKit @UpdateKit]

I have updated the note about RoutineHub on https://t.co/DYUKpZb8hD to a warning and added new information (highlighted in red) noting that the website is leaking an unknown amount of user data to anyone using the site. Logging into the site puts you at risk.
