When I’m casually browsing the web on my iPhone, and come across recreational/frivoulous stuff I want to keep for later - I prepend the link of that page to a flagged file inside Drafts.app.
Been doing this for ages, so it’s kind of a catch-all for stuff that I’ll probably never read - but hey!
When opening that file in Drafts - it appears to be an ‘ordinary’ text file.
When when you tap on the ‘link’ icon on the bottom left, inside Drafts - they are automagically switched to ‘live-links’ that can be tapped on to launch in Safari etc.
I’m trying to work out how to get that page, with live-links - onto my Mac…
Now I know next-to-nothing about what is going on in the background here, so I’m not sure if this is complex or fairly simple - but am hoping someone might have ideas.
When I “share” the file from Drafts to DTTG, regardless of what format I use for the text file [Rich text/formatted/plain/Markdown], the links remain text.
When I “Open in” from Drafts to DTTG, the links are live, when I view them inside DTTG2 - and remain so.
However, as soon as I sync back to DTPO, it shows up as a text file, with all links in simple text.
The ‘workaround’ over on the Mac is easy enough, since I can simply select the url text-string, and use Popclip to open it up through a Google search >> alternatively Alfred etc. could make short shrift of getting where I need to.
But the thought of having one long, ever-increasing “text” file with live-links neatly separated throughout, is far more appealing.
Suggestions? Can this be done?
