It took a little work, but I managed to get iA Writer, Working Copy, and Shortcuts to play nice and create a new Hugo post on mobile. I’d toyed with the idea of adopting dynamic APIs that mutated a checkout of the site and such but there was always some extra difficulty and the whole point of going static was to avoid that nonsense.

The short of it is:

1. Ask for Text with “Post Title”
2. Current Date
3. Format Date (Current Date, ISO)
4. Text (your stub post goes here, frontmatter and all)
5. Replace “[^\w\s]+” with “-” in “[step 1]”
6. Change “[step 5]” to “lowercase”
7. Format “Current Date” as “yyyy-MM-dd”
8. Set name of “[step 4]” to “[step 7]-[step 6].md”
9. Save “[step 8]” to “[Working Copy path to content dir]”
10. Open “Saved File” in “iA Writer”
