First a question that I’ve seen alluded to but not clarified:
In the beta, when a reminder is created, how is that link maintained? If Things 3 imports the reminder (i.e. deleting it from iOS reminders), what functionality is lost? Is the link to Agenda from things maintained?
This topic got me thinking, if /remind me is a thing that can initiate an action based on the preceding content, could a generic /workflow(name) be created that summoned a workflow with that same preceding content? This would make all sorts of integrations possible (immediate one for me is "start a new agenda note to expand on this idea’, templating, image search (results dumped into a shelf app for drag and drop) etc. etc.
I ask because I’m keen to know if the reminders link will “follow” the content if it’s moved into Things 3 or if it all just gets horribly broken as Things 3 also deletes the reminder from the iOS reminders app.
I was watching the video for the feature again (can you tell yet that I’m keen to give a try? ) and noticed that the reminders all had URLs listed in the note.
Is there a plan to use the built in linking that notes seems to support when the share sheet is used to create a reminder? Screenshot example:
I’m only asking because ‘initiating’ URLs from reminders (and calendar events for tha matter) is a bit awkward (i.e. unclickable) and the ‘icon’ based way that iOS seems to have is nice and easy.
Ok so I tricked it by creating a shortcut to take a URL and use the share sheet to manually add a reminder which makes it all look petty spiffy - will it end up like this?
) and noticed that the reminders all had URLs listed in the note.
