Create Jekyll Post -- A Simple Alfred Workflow

This is a simple workflow to create a Jekyll post with Front Matter. I use it to write new posts for Your Financial Fallacies.

How to configure

1. Download the .alfredworkflow file for your Alfred's version.
2. Double click it to add it to your workflows. Set the correct destinantion path.
3. Edit the vpost step to add your own categories.
4. Edit the Open file step to set a default markdown editor.
5. Change icons in the post and vpost steps.

You can change the posts path later in the Workflow configuration by tapping [x].

How to use

In the Alfred's Search bar, type post and the article's title.

post Money can buy happiness

Then select a category. This field auto-completes as you type. In Alfred 4, tap spacebar to display all available categories.

Support multiple blogs

Simply duplicate the workflow in Alfred. Make only sure to set a new icon to the post and vpost steps, so that you can easily identify which blog you're posting to.

Then change the proper parameters as explained in How to configure.

The starting point for this workflow is the Simple To-Do List Example in Alfred.

Default images and categories are from Your Financial Fallacies.

You can use this work as you like.
