I'm looking for a recipe app and I'm kind of particular. I haven't liked any that I have tried so far. -clean interface, easy to read, navigate, and enter recipes. Most fail here. -import from a wide variety of websites -sync with browser -no forced social features, at the very least be ignorable. I'm willing to spend money, but only if I know it meets my needs first. I might just end up using Evernote or something because all the recipe apps seem bad.

I'm not really sure if this is the right thread, but my work posts its schedule in the stupidest way possible. Each day they post each person who is working that day as an all day event with their name and their scheduled hours as the title. These are posted to different calendars based on department location. Basically it spams the poo poo out of my phone with events whether I am working or not.  I'm wondering if there is a script I could run that would find my name and pull it to a different calendar in a sane format. This lunacy makes the calendar pretty much useless for personal use. Another option is to just download some other calendar app, and use one for work and one for personal. The work one would still end up being spammed with everyone elses schedule and force me to use day view to see whether I work or not.

maltesh posted:Seconded. If you're fairly decent with Javascript, it would probably be /fairly/ straightforward scan the events from one calendar, parse a time and date from the title, and post them to another calendar using the Google Apps Scripting, (which despite the name, works on any Google Account) I've been using the scripting to do calendar (and other) things for years. LastInLine posted:I've got to know, what's their reasoning for putting the times in the title instead of in the event? I love corporate logic so much and I'm sure I'm going to enjoy this. EDIT: If I had to take a guess, I bet he has a spreadsheet that spits out how many hours he has to go around for each day. He fills the schedule in based on that and probably lazily copy and pastes it from the sheet into the calendar. Or uses a bad script. eSporks fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Oct 11, 2017 |

maltesh posted:All right, here you go. This half-assed kludgy Google Script will /probably/ do the following: TARGET_CALENDAR_NAME and SOURCE_CALENDAR_NAME refer to 2 different calendars on the same google account, correct? Ideally I'd like to import things to a separate account, but if that is a limitation, that is fine. I think the bigger issue is that you underestimated how lovely this calendar is set up. In the screen shot, each color code is a separate calendar. Sales location 1, service location 1, sales location 2, service location 2 etc. It's entirely possible my name could be on 1 of 4 calendars for this google account on any given day.

This is what happens when non tech people get a hold of technology they know just enough about that it makes things easier for them. I am probably one of those people myself. This schedule system probably works fantastic for the guy that comes in more or less when he feels like it and just needs to see who is working on what days and make sure its all covered. It doesn't work for anyone else though. Having a monthly schedule that can only be viewed accurately in day view is pretty poo poo. If I knew his work flow better, I'd suggest some changes to make it more functional. Based on his personality I just know that if I bring it up at all without having a solution he won't care because it obviously works for him. eSporks fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Oct 12, 2017 |

Ok, the script is kinda working, but its only working every other day? I can't seem to find any reason for that. Its also still coping my shifts over as an all day event, instead of scheduling in the time. I'm OK with this I guess since my main goal is just to see only my shifts. You again underestimated how bad this schedule is. I need to somehow know which of the 4 schedules it pulled form for a specific day. Since each schedule is a different location, i need to know which one to drive to lol! I'm cool with a simple "esporks L1 10-7" or "esporks L2 10-7" etc. Wether or not we can get this working, I'll buy you a forums upgrade for your work. eSporks fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Oct 13, 2017 |

The whole time that I have been there, everyone has started on the hour. This new one more or less works. A couple days have double entries, but thats about it. I can deal with that.

I'd like to create a simple home screen shortcut or assistant command that opens the latest video from a specific youtuber. I can't find a way to do it. I can't seem to generate any kind of static web URL that always points to the newest. Is there any way to do this with tasker or something similar?

That pulls up *a video*. It's not the latest video, and I can't tell why it is the video it is. Last watched maybe?

Odd, I can't tell what determines the video it plays. Even if it worked, I realized I need a little more specificity too. I need to play from a specific playlist on their channel, not just the newest. Edit: "Play youtube <play list name>" will play the playlist in oldest first direction. "Play latest youtube <play list name>" is playing one from yesterday "Play today's youtuber <play list name>" still plays yesterday's I think <play list name> is working, but still won't do latest eSporks fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Jan 19, 2021 |

Now I don't get what's going on with assistant and the youtube app AT ALL. "Open <URL link to specific video>" is just opening the youtube app and nothing else. Tried using a desktop bookmark instead, but it opens in chrome instead of youtube! Why is this so impossible? eSporks fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Jan 19, 2021 |

So, you can turn a youtube playlist into an RSS feed. Did that. The reader loads the first (oldest) 15 videos then stops and never updates.

Ahh maybe that's it. I just found that method suggested on a google search. I came across a lot of other depreciated features too. You used to be able to change the direction a playlist plays with a url string, but not anymore. It's really starting to feel like google/youtube have stripped any ability to do what I want to do. I just want to easily play a daily video while avoiding having to interact with the algorithm trying to serve me something else. But I guess they intentionally do not want that. eSporks fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Jan 20, 2021 |

Flipperwaldt posted:I like a lot that I can 'subscribe' to youtube channels in NewPipe and it's entirely local (you can't even log in in the app). You can also bin the channels into different groups for checking out what's new at different times. That list seems to be sorted newest first, whether you want it or not.

New pipe still displays the bookmarked playlist in oldest first order. Interface is cleaner and easier than YouTube though. I can at least access the newest video from the main channel feed easier.

The channel just has lots of content, and I'm really only interested in one playlist from it. It's also part of a relaxation thing for me, so the idea is to just play the video with minimal phone interaction. New pipe is significantly easier and cleaner to use. Best solution yet, thanks.

Looking for an app that would switch off a wifi with a poor signal to one with a better signal. Why isn't this native? Android will gladly use up data when the wifi signal is poor and completely neglect connecting to the perfectly fine other signal right there.

Does pocket casts let you do multiple playlists? I know it has the up next, but I'd really like to set up a separate playlist for each podcast. Some of them have a huge backlog I want to get through, but not all at once ya know.

Yea, I'm aware of all those. The main reason I'm asking is that I'm about to go on a 30hr drive. I want to have playlist A for my murder mystery podcast. Playlist B for my comedy podcast. Playlist C for my current events. That way I can switch between them easily while driving when I get in a different mood. Using up next for that is pretty cumbersome while driving, and also easy to lose track of where I'm at in a series.

I'm looking for scheduling, Todo, time management apps. I'm trying to block out my time and set some reminders, get a lot stricter about staying on top of things. I've tried a few apps, but nothing really sticks, looking for a clean an intuitive UI. I've tried just using Google calendar and tasks with a bunch of reoccurring tasks and timers, but I really hate how unreadable the interface gets once you start filling it out. Any suggestions?

VictualSquid posted:The iNaturalist/seek app took that picture automatically, because it decided it was great. Which is one of the reasons why I am looking for a different app. It will also give you a family or genus even if it isn't sure about the exact species. I use iNaturalist for identifying plants frequently. iNaturalist also let's you see what other people in your area have reported. So you could also just browse and filter by spider. Then scroll through and look for a match.

Yea, I looked into seek afterwards. I don't know what niche its trying to serve that iNaturalist doesn't. The reviews are pretty bad too, so definitely check out the actual iNaturalist app. The interface takes some getting used to, but functionally it's really good at identifying most things. Even when it can't, it gets you close enough that you can research on your own.

It's website based, so you'd create a home screen shortcut to your shopping list. But it's very seamless, you can say "hey Google add eggs to my shopping list" I used to use this, but Google assistant had been utterly broken for me for months now. I can't seem to find a solution. I get a wide variety of different error messages, and it just fails to execute any command. It was nice when it worked.
