HOWTO use iOS-apps-"share with"-menu to call (custom) python(ista)-scripts by example

AddToReminiscence

Reminiscense is an open-source self-hosted bookmark and archive manager.

This example shows you how to send/archive a page/URL from your mobile browser via the "share with"-menu. This is done by using Pythonista3 to call a short Python-script (add2reminiscence.py). The script uses Reminiscence's REST-API and runs on any platform Python runs on.

requirements:

• Pythonista3 - A full PythonIDE for iOS (non-free :-/)
• (optional) StaSh - a serious attempt to implement a Bash-like shell for Pythonista.

How to add a pythonista Shortcut

1. select "share with"/"Run Pythonista Script" in your browser

2. select "Edit" and use the "+" symbol to add a new Shortcut (here our Python-script)
3. select the add2reminiscence.py-Script
4. fill in the 3 needed arguments for the script: <url-of-your-reminiscence-instance> <user> <password>
5. (optional) choose a fancy icon and color ;)
6. click "Add" and then "Done"
