• Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing

  I’ve got to plug Snippety on macOS. I’ve configured it to work with my PowerShell scripts, so I can easily call out to OpenAI endpoints and then inline the response into whatever app I’m in. Plus, the dev is super cool and his product is well done. Not associated with it in anyway other than being a happy customer. https://snippety.app. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• SOAP notes--pediatric medicaid

  I don't write SOAP notes anymore but I recently found a mac application called Snippety that has completely streamlined all of the redundant tasks I do. It combines text expansion with key simulation. You have to spend some time figuring out which keys are pushed to achieve your goal, but every time since then, you'll run the snippet and it'll do all the button pushing for you. Here's a few examples:... Source: over 2 years ago

• Suggest a text expander/ Clipboard app for my use case

  Snippety: Snippety is a more recent app. Its UI is slick and modern. It lacks some basic features to make it a full fledged expander at this point IMO, but the dev is receptive and willing to add features users request. Source: over 2 years ago

• Snippety positive feedback (text expansion)

  There are many questions about text expanders options on this subreddit. I wanted to give a shout out to the maker of Snippety, an option I only discovered recently. I loved the UI right away, but it was missing a few features (triggers and auto capitalization) to be a viable option for me. I contacted the developer, and 6 weeks later, they have been implemented!

• Predictive Text app

  Snippety: I just discovered Snippety recently. It’s also primarily aimed at programmers, but the feature set is a bit larger than Dash’s though it’s still missing some critical features for my needs at this point (delimiters, auto capitalization and CSV importing). That said, the dev responds to feeedback and seems willing to consider and add features. I hope so because the UI is slick and modern, ne text... Source: over 2 years ago

• You don't have to type faster to type faster

  If you are already using Alfred[1] (with PowerPack), then snippets are your friend. Combine this with macOS's own Text Replacement[2], can cover most needs. You add up your snippets as you go along and sync/backup it so you won't have to re-do on each install/upgrade. I also found out that it is easier to use "," as a deliminator as there is no way I will type a normal English word with a comma then a character... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing

  First, I have to make a personal confession — I never liked the SMS short-hand thingy that worked with pre-iPhone phones. That was one of the reason I use SMS/Text-Messages unless I really need to. I have been using text-expansion since the early days of TextExpander[1], an app that works on iOS and macOS. However good the iPhone keyboard was, it was always not convenient to type and retype details such as home... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Getting faster at plug and play motions and using templates

  There is an app called TextExpander that you can use to store frequently used text selections and then type a shortcut to have it automatically insert into any Microsoft document. It is extremely helpful for busting through routine motions or correspondence. For example, if I want my atty’s signature block, I have it set up to insert when I type /sigblock. I have whole letters and pleadings saved in there and I... Source: over 2 years ago

• Tip: Use Text Snippets

  To help me save time and avoid distractions, I’ve been using prompts through the TextExpander app. These prompts are shortcuts that I’ve created to quickly add little instructions I feel I have to repeat often. For example, I’ve created a prompt to “stamp all code snippets you produce with a unique identifier,” which has made it much easier to ask GPT3 to go back and retrieve the code I’m referencing.
