Shortcuts support on iOS

[kjpg99]

Hello,

Quick idea for the app's version for iOS – shortcuts support for adding data to table of specified data base. Even if not in a raw / text form, then as a JSON or CSV as it's possible to manage those formats in iOS Shortcuts.

My impression is that although iOS now allows for processing larger amounts of data, be that with shortcuts app or with other tools, it's still quite limited when it comes to exporting it or sharing it with other user's devices in a way, that would allow for its further processing. What I want to say is that it is possible to create whole workflows on iOS – but in many case if only developers allow for this. Shortcuts might be limited but still it's one of the better ways as particular workflows can be added to sharing menu or can pass input between the apps etc. I really think it would make the app very much more useful.
Though to be honest, in my case it would rather go down to make it function lika a highly structured notebook. Often I need to note short pieces of information including ever the same parts and on Mac it turned out in order to keep it organized tables have no competition. For example for noting down links and bookmarks – as a text note it always end up as a one big mess and if it comes to specialized manager apps – for past 4 months I haven't been able to find one that wouldn't seem bloated and wouldn't cost a lot just for the function of synchronization between my devices. All those issues could be easily solved with a simple shortcut, ideally possible to be added to the list of other records that I have on self-hosted data base.
I am aware that it might sound as using too serious tool for such a simple task and that might be true, but on the other hand all those dedicated apps, even for bookmarks, are too using some kind of sqlite in the background to provide their functions. So, often this is rather about focusing on the core functions and needs without all this unnecessary graphical overhead of the dedicated apps – especially that it's already quite hard to compete with TablePro as it is at the moment. I find it very neat and readable!

I really hope that the above idea will be interesting and eventually will be implemented. For last I can say that I've looked into couple other apps and shortcuts support implemented in data base clients for iOS is definitely a gap – I haven't find any where it would be a fully-developed functionality.

Thanks for a great app and all the best,
