Automating Text Transformations with Text Workflow
There are a lot of text transformation apps out there, and many of them are good. However, my current favorite is Text Workflow by Giorgos Trigonakis. The app comes in separate Mac and iPhone/iPad versions and incorporates a long list of text actions and automation options, which I’ve found myself needing more and more lately.
Most recently, I’ve begun using Text Workflow when I publish new podcast episodes to the MacStories YouTube channel. I’m a YouTube production noob, and while I wasn’t surprised that it doesn’t support Markdown for podcast show notes, I didn’t realize that it doesn’t support rich text linking either. YouTube requires descriptions to include bare URLs, presumably to ensure that viewers know where a link will take them.
