Web Excursions for April 01, 2013: Alfred 2 Edition
No April Fools jokes here, just a bunch of Alfred 2 goodness.
- Alfredo
- “Alfredo is a [Ruby] wrapper for Alfred 2’s new Workflow system. It generates a XML response based on the information in the Alfred Forums.”
- Alfred 2 Ruby Framework
- A framework for Alfred 2 workflow development in Ruby.
- Alfred workflow for Github
- An Alfred 2 workflow for Github that works almost like the GitHub command bar.
- Alfred 2 Workflow List – Search, Install and Share
- The beginnings of a repository for all of the Alfred 2 Workflows popping up.
- Yak pushing workflow
- “It has the basic trimmings, i.e. a Contacts custom action you can wire up to phone numbers in Alfreds contacts viewer, a dial keyword and keyboard shortcuts to handle stuff selected in OS X applications.”
And one non-Alfred link because I think it sounds like the start of something pretty cool:
- Digested
- Convert notes and highlights from iBooks to PDFs or Evernote notes on your desktop. A really cool idea, I need to test it out and see if it works.
