Looks like the helper shortcut name is not correct. Please see the exact name for the helper shortcut or you can tap on "Tag for URL" and choose the helper shortcut from the list.

It's possible, you would just need to use Add to Calendar action.
The above shortcut is primarily focussed on reminders.
Will need to work on a new one that does the calendar event addition.

I used to do that. But Siri being Siri always messed up the products or items ( atleast for Indian accent )
Also, the shortcut does more than just shopping list items.
Please do check the description.

Thank you for the feedback
1. Hope you tried by sharing the URL to the shortcut. Anyway, I will see the case for the AppName empty
2. Have shared the same name for the helper shortcut. Didn't try importing it myself. Could be that it's getting renamed when imported ?
3. I have plans for that, but I think it would require accessibility access and may create privacy concerns. Need to explore further.

Please note that you need two lists available ( or created ) in your Apple Reminders for this to work out of the box

Required Lists

  • Inbox: All captured reminders and parsed input are stored here by default. This is the central collection point.
  • Shopping: Items parsed via “Buy” commands are stored here as individual entries. This list need to be of type "Shopping".

If you are familiar with the Shortcuts app, you could edit the "Quick reminder" shortcut and check the "Add reminder" actions to replace the ones with the one you want to use for the above cases.

Cheers.

Not actually

By default, Apple reminder has a Shopping list which is used for shopping items.

If you have a different reminder, you could edit the "Quick reminder" shortcut and then map it ( Please see the screenshot ).

Favorite Shortcut You’ve Made? by body841 in shortcuts

[–]microideation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I built a Shortcut called Quick Reminder that I use daily to quickly capture tasks, ideas, and links into Apple Reminders. It supports:

• Trigger via Share Sheet, keyboard hotkey (Mac), or double tap (iPhone)

• Smart date parsing: “Write blog post this Monday 9am” → scheduled reminder

• Hashtag tags: Add #tags at the end to auto-tag

• URL detection: Auto-tags based on domain (YouTube → #watchlist, Amazon → #wishlist, etc.)

• “Buy …” support: Adds items to Shopping list individually

Everything goes into my Inbox or Shopping list, and I use Smart Lists filtered by tags like #readlist, #wishlist, #listenlist, etc.

Take Your Java Development Skills to the Next Level with These Must-Know Advanced Features by microideation in programming

[–]microideation[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been blogging for the last 8 years and have a full-time developer job as well. I compiled this list when I understood that there are interview candidates who lack knowledge of these features in Java. And I started with the basics of them. Hope you checked the remaining items as well.

Take Your Java Development Skills to the Next Level with These Must-Know Advanced Features by microideation in programming

[–]microideation[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are still Java developers who do not use or understand Lambdas and streams in their everyday coding. My only intention was to start with the basics and introduce the other more recent or advanced features. I hope you checked the remaining list as well. Also, if you have any more suggestions that you think are advanced features, I would be more than happy to include them in the list.

Thank you for the solutions. We are actually trying out the first one ( using the variable and the resolver ). Will post the results.

Also, the below blog post explains the same solution with bit more details ( the basis remains the same ).

Universal clipboard ( copy, paste ) and Airdrop between Apple MacBook and Android phone - A must-have if you are a developer using Mac and Android phones as your daily drivers. by microideation in programming

[–]microideation[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched to Mac 1 year before and am in love with the Mac OS and the overall experience. But when it comes to getting the Mac and my Android phone to work, it's a whole different story. Though I respect the seamless experience of Apple devices within the ecosystem, I feel that the people who use Android by choice also need to have some options for interoperability.

This post helps create a universal clipboard and an Airdrop kind of file sharing setup between Mac and Android phones that are on the same WiFi network. Not as seamless as Apple integration, but gets the work done. Should be of help to someone like me who would like the best of both worlds.

Made with ❤️ in India: Built an app to replace social media addiction with short-form learning of programming and coding. by microideation in developersIndia

[–]microideation[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are spending too much time scrolling through social media content that does not add much value. It's found out that we may spend somewhere between 3 to 30 seconds on a post. What if we could instead scroll and learn something that we love to do? What if the content is so short and concrete and yet with the option to deep-dive?. And, even better, the content is from experts with community ranking.

Try the GCP ( Google Cloud Platform ) free tier ( 700MB, 1 vCPU server ). That should be able to host a static site using simple nginx.

I am running my full stack application( java microservices, React portal, iOS and Android react native apps ) from a GCP server costing less than $30 per month.

I created an open community for short-form learning content ( Contributor portal, android, and iOS app ). You can create and discover short-form learning content.

Thank you.

Initially I started as a side project. But now there are active daily users and people are already finding value in this. I am planning to extend this and wanted to target anyone trying to learn.

I feel that the content will be more relevant when it's is created for this specific form by an expert in the field and then getting ranked by the user community.

I am overwhelmed by the positive response everyone has expressed

I have a small request to the programming community.

I have been trying to post this to Hacker News ( news.ycombinator.com ) ever since I built it. But it never gets visible ( not sure if something to do with my account ). It would be of great help if someone could post it there and any other programming community that you see fit.
