@pseudometa Excellent spot! I'll get this fixed in the next build.
 
Thanks,

Hi,
 
it's not mentioned in the Alfred Gallery Page, but Supercharged Citation Picker actually is able to add citations to a .bib file, when it is given a DOI or ISBN.
https://github.com/chrisgrieser/alfred-bibtex-citation-picker/?tab=readme-ov-file#add-new-entries

Played a bit around with the 5.5 Beta and textview. Came up with this very simple workflow, consisting completely of building blocks provided by Alfred (no code).
 
It brings up a simple scratchpad via hotkey, and hides the scratchpad again with the same hotkey. The file content can be saved via cmd+enter, and previewed via shift+enter. Main caveat of this workflow is that cmd+enter is the *only* available method of saving the content – cmd+s does not work, and (as far as I can tell) it's not possible to have the note content saved when using esc on the text view.  
Simple solution, which nonetheless replaced my need for a separate scratchpad app

The text view is also a fantastic addition, took me 2 minutes to create a "simple scratchpad app" with it.
 
Could the font size maybe be made configurable? Like, the text is really small, making it a bit of an accessibility problem for people like me.
 
edit: just discovered that you can increase font size via right-clicking and selecting "Font". However, the selection done there does not persist, so it's not really a solution, unfortunately :/

Really like 'open with alfred'
 
I'd love the ability to set up a modifier for that, so that it could be one of the options in advanced settings under the area in the screenshot below. I'd take it over "Search with Finder" for instance
 
 

This is now in Alfred 5.5 Beta 2 b2253
 
Both a Workflow Object scoped option, and a global option (local to you, better if you're going to share the workflow)

I kinda agree here. Even if it is just `gif<enter>query` instead of `gif<space>query` now, it feels a bit weird, since years of using Alfred has taught me that I have to type "keyword space query".
 
Nonetheless: since Grid view also takes file paths as input, creating any kind of image search is super easy now, no code required, just using the Alfred building blocks 💪
 

OMG I'm in love with Alfred all over again! 😍 (not that it ever faded)
The grid view is amazing!! Thanks a ton!
 
Misc feedback/feature requests:
"Alfred Filters Results" option in the grid view. My emoji workflow uses a static JSON file and relies on Alfred to filter and prioritize the results. That means even without typing out any search query, the most frequently used emojis rise to the top. The grid view seems like a perfect fit for an emoji workflow. However, at present, lack of integration of Alfred's knowledge makes it not as good a choice as the script filter. Dragging files out of the grid view: In the normal view, for file results, I can drag them out. This was especially useful when uploading files to webpages. Webpage opens a finder window to upload a file. I search for the file I want in Alfred. I drag that file from Alfred results and drop it onto that finder window. (this step works for traditional results, but not for results in the grid view) The finder window now has that file selected. I click "open" on finder window, and the file is uploaded to the webpage. GIF support in the grid view: The grid view shows only the first frame of the GIF instead of showing an animated version of it. Wouldn't it make a lovely "GIF Search" workflow if it did!? 😇 Size of the grid and text views: Since these two are brand-new paradigms, and unlock complete new ways of interacting with Alfred, would it make sense to theme them independently? Specifically, the dimensions. For example, it may not make sense for me to have super-wide Alfred in normal mode, yet could be desirable to have a grid view that almost fills the entire width of the screen. Syntax highlighting for code-blocks in markdown for text view: one thing I find myself frequently doing is: Copy JSON/XML returned by some API. This usually is a large single line, making it difficult to read. Pretty-print it, produce HTML with syntax highlight. Look at the HTML using quicklook (from Alfred) The syntax highlighting helps a lot with XML, which, the text-view doesn't support. Web View? Being able to render arbitrary HTML would be super cool and so powerful! (Agree this could open a can of worms not worth tackling)

Yep, I can definitely add some font size options in the Text View config.
 
The Font menu on the popup shouldn't be there (as it's plain text), I'll remove that in the next build.

The Grid View is a brand new paradigm, and completely separate view in Alfred. Using a keyword<space> e.g. "gif<space>query" can't take you out of the default result context automatically, as this would wreak havoc when there could be multiple unrelated default result matches.
 
It'll become second nature before you know it...
 
keyword<space> = stay in context
keyword<enter> = new context

Usage

Play the matching pairs game via the memory keyword.

I'll pop in a ticket to consider shortcuts / making this easier to access  

@katie That GitHub issue is your best bet to find someone who’ll port it to Python 3, but I recommend instead that you look into an alternate maintained workflow, such as @pseudometa’s Supercharged Citation Picker.

Hi, no, the workflow does not do that. Dealing with git and doing backups is not anything that you need Alfred for anyway. 
 
You can do automated git pushes by using the obsidian git plugin. (First result when you search for "git" in the obsidian plugin store)

Found the issue, fixed in 1.0.5: https://github.com/chrisgrieser/alfred-writing-assistant/releases/download/1.0.5/alfred-writing-assistant.alfredworkflow

@giovanniBeen already using that one for a while in my citation picker workflow

Autocorrection and synonym suggestions for the word under the cursor. Rephrasing of the selected text. 
 
The workflow offers four hotkeys:
Autocorrect the word under the cursor. Suggest synonyms for the word under the cursor. Rephrase the selected text via ChatGPT, improving its language (requires OpenAI API key).  Same as 3, but use Markdown markup to show the changes: Additions are displayed as ==highlights==. Deletions are displayed as ~~strikethroughs~~. There is a workflow configuration to alternatively format the changes as Critic Markup.  
Unfortunately, the forum keeps on failing when I try to upload the demo .gif file. The demo is available at the workflow's GitHub page though:

Chris, you are on a workflow roll!!! Thank you for yet another great workflow 😍

Good idea, actually. I added that as opt-out feature: https://github.com/chrisgrieser/alfred-read-later/releases/download/1.1.1/alfred-read-later.alfredworkflow

Thanks!
 
Unfortunately not.

Thanks!
 
Unfortunately not.

Simple standalone read-later-app for Alfred. Saves the items in plaintext on your device.
 
Usage
- Use the keyword rl to add the current tab of the frontmost browser to your read-later-list.
- Any item in your reading list also shows up when using the keyword rl. Press ⏎ to open the item in your browser and remove it from your read-later-list.
 
Items are saved locally
The items are saved in a local markdown file on your disk. You can set the location in the workflow configuration. The items formatted in the markdown task syntax. Unread items as open tasks: - [ ] [title](url) Read items as completed tasks: - [x] [title](url) This has several advantages: No dependency on any read-later service. The reading list is available offline. Since Markdown is a widely supported format, you can access your items in many other apps as well, such as Obsidian. Easy backup: Just copypaste the file. Easy sync: Just save the file in a Cloud Drive like iCloud.
