Hey everyone! 👋

Some of you already know I’ve been working on an AI assistant called ✨ Node. If you missed it, here’s the link: /www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1jisvkz/introducing_node_v2/

What is Node? 🤖
Node is an AI assistant powered by Mistral AI API that returns information in JSON and Apple Shortcuts. It uses a dynamic layering system that sends multiple requests to Mistral to figure out:
📡 What data to fetch
❓ What questions to ask
📝 What items to create (notes, reminders, events, etc.)

What’s new in this update 🚀
🗓️ Calendar and reminder list support
🔁 New dynamic layering – no more fixed keywords
❔ Smart follow-up questions for time, date, and number inputs
⚙️ Auto-update system that prompts users to download the latest version

Add Location Details to Photo - full details

Direct download link - no account or signup needed

Easily overlay GPS and address info on your images, straight from your photo’s metadata.

This shortcut takes your selected photo, extracts any available location information (like GPS coordinates, street, city, country, etc.), and gives you full control to decide which fields to include. You can edit the final text before it gets overlaid on the image. It then saves a new version of the image with a clean location label displayed in a strip across the bottom of the photo.

Perfect for travel shots, documentation, fieldwork, or sharing geo-tagged images.

Key Features

• Extracts GPS and address data from photo metadata
• Lets you choose exactly which location fields to include
• Offers an editable text preview before finalizing
• Adds a stylish label strip across the bottomof your image
• Saves a new image with options to keep or delete the original

It’s annoying.

So I’ve been trying to get a better understanding of shortcuts and I figured I’d start by automating a basic process I do frequently. In short, I keep track of my discretionary spending in a very simple format by just manually updating a saved note on my phone that only has a number in it every time I make a discretionary purchase that month. So for instance, let’s say I have $500 left in my “discretionary” fund for the month and I spend $40 on dinner. I currently open the note, and manually change the value to $460.

The goal of this shortcut is to have a simple input where I just drop the purchase price in, have it pull the current budget value out of the note, do the math, replace the old value with the new one and then display a dialog that tells me how much I have left to spend. I’m getting stuck on the second part however, because no matter how I’ve tried to do it, the shortcut either appears to pull nothing at all out for the variable or it asks me which character to use.

JRE and the rest of the podcasts in his orbit gained momentum when I (29M) was in college 2014-2019. Due to personal struggles and my battle with a learning disability, college was some of the toughest and loneliest years of my life. In those moments of confusion and pain I felt these podcasts provided me laughs and motivation. They provided solace almost as a balm to the loneliness I was feeling.

Now that I’ve gained some stability to my life, I can’t believe how much time I wasted listening to these 2+ hour podcasts of people rambling. Though I often felt indifferent to Joe and was perplexed about many of the people he gave a platform to, he also had so many musicians, comedians, environmentalists, etc. that I had admired for years and now I got the chance to listen to them talk in a way I felt I was a third person in this conversation. These podcasts have also become longform conversations to mine clips of to post on YouTube, and I found much of this originated with …

After seeing some recommendations for the Telepathy Tapes and having once been in the same creative orbit as the makers, I had to give it a go. I went in completely blind, aside from knowing the central claim. I’m not sure what I as expecting, but I suppose something a little more grounded than what this is.

And I’m not sure if it’s because in general people only listened to the first couple of episodes, but the claims in the podcast go well beyond and are completely out there into the furthest reaches of the woo woo world.

I have no idea why more people aren’t talking about that aspect — and it immediately removing it from any sort of serious public discourse? Or maybe that already did happen and I am just late to the party.

I also don’t know how it got as big or as popular as it did as a “serious” podcast. It’s basically late night paranormal television shows and radio programs, but now shamelessly leveraging those with autism and disabilities as their entry point into that whole …

I need a new podcast to listen to and I really like investigative journalism ones.

If you’ve never heard them I highly recommend “Wind of change” and “Sh*t town.” Wind of change investigates the possible involvement of the CIA in writing the song “wind of change” and Shit town follows a man who invited a journalist to his small town to investigate a murder (takes a twist).

I loved these two and now can’t find anything on the same level. If you’ve listened to these, any recommendations of something similar?

I’m a bit burnt out by true crime podcasts, but love long podcasts that go deep into ANY subject!

These are some of the ones I’ve loved:

Boomtown
Gamblers
Caliphate
The Jungle Prince
Rabbit Hole
Bear Brook
Missing Richard Simmons
S Town
The Outlaw Ocean
Finding Drago
The Paddlefish Caviar Heist
Wild Chocolate
Cement City
City of the Rails
Noble
And all of Marc Fennell’s podcasts on Audible (Nut Jobs, It Burns etc)

Thanks so much!

Guys, this was recommended so highly by so many people across multiple Reddit threads and I’m so confused as to why. Can you tell me why the heck you who love this rate it so highly?

I went in knowing nothing and thought it was gonna be a crime thing, then that didn’t pan out and John died. Then I thought it was going to document an acrimonious legal battle for his possessions and land. But no. It just turns into this hellla long delve into this random man’s life.

Don’t get me wrong there were interesting things about clocks and being queer in the south, and it was very sweet that the reporter created this in memory of the guy, but God it was just a lot of nothing. There was no story, or hook, or anything really. I just kept waiting for the story to start and it didn’t.

I’m not saying it’s bad at all, obviously it’s just not to my taste but I’m surprised it’s to so many …

It feels like the quality has gone way, way downhill, and their political alignment has jolted to the right.

They keep interviewing and platforming far-right individuals and taking the things they say at face value.

Calling overt racist Laura Loomer a prankster? Interviewing Richard Hanania? Inviting on conservative pundits to give takes on current affairs with no counter voice?

I feel like I’m going crazy, those podcast used to be “daily news and interesting stuff” informative, but now it feels like it’s turning into propaganda.

Was it always this right-wing and I never noticed? What is going on?

I know this is a bit of an odd request, but my very favorite endings are the ones that don’t let you in on what’s really going on until the very end. The last pages or chapter, maybe even the very last line.

The past few mystery/thrillers I’ve read, the plot twist seems to happen somewhere around the 50-75% mark and I find myself anxiously awaiting the final reveal, only to realize that was it.

So now I turn to you all. Help me find a book with an ending that will have me sitting there like, “Wait, WHAT?!”

Basically, I want literary obsession. Genre doesn’t matter. Just give me a book I won’t be able to put down.

The kind of ending that leaves you staring into space, emotionally destroyed or deeply moved.

For so long, I had fallen into the monotonous trap of scrolling, whenever I could, whenever I had moments to myself. At night, I mindlessly scrolled myself to sleep, hiding it under the blankets as my husband slept beside me. Sometimes I would lay in bed for hours, exhausted but unable to stop. It bled out into everything, poor eating habits, moodiness, a general low sense of self.

I was thinking about it one day, feeling shitty about being so trapped and powerless, and I remembered how I used to be such an avid reader- but anything I picked up nowadays just couldn’t engage me, and before I knew it I was doom scrolling again. So I came on here and read a few posts. There was one asking for a suspense, and I remembered what a suspense junkie I used to be. Starting from a young age, reading the Goosebumps books, and then moving into Stephen King in my teen and young adult years. So I picked up the book in the top post, “I’m thinking of ending Things”, by Iain Reed, and I devoured it. …

I’m part of a book club for people who don’t have a lot of time to read, hence the request for less than 200 pages. I want books that have devastated you, given you new things to think about, marked you in any way, shape, or form.

Any genre, translated, classics. Anything goes.

We just want to have options for future meetings, as well as a pool of titles to pick from as a group.

When I say this, I mean in the most literal sense, what books leave you sat absolutely speechles, completely and utterly distraugh? I recently finished the secret history, which I found weirdly depressing, just at the way in which Richard lost most meaningful connections with the majority of the people he meets throughout the book. For some reason, the feeling it left me with gave me a huge appreciation for the book itself, being able to convey such emotions so easily, and I’d like to find books that do the same thing on a substantially greater scale.

I’m old (33), I’ve played a lot(!) of games, but I’m constantly on the lookout for hidden gems. Games that stand out as unique in some way or another, that due to any number of reasons, didn’t explode in popularity. Or maybe it’s still in Early Access and you think it’s looking incredibly promising; those count too.

Let’s hear some recommendations!

If you’re here looking for a recommendation from me, and you enjoy FTL and/or Heroes of Might and Magic 3, do yourself a favor and go and play Crying Suns.

P.S. I endorse the liberal downvoting of anyone who recommends a game that we’ve all heard about. You know the ones I mean.

Edit: This thread is sick and so full of fantastic suggestions. The ones I’ve heard of I agree with and I’m exploring the ones I haven’t at my own pace, but I think I’m going to be referring to this for a while! Thanks to all and sorry to anyone I didn’t get a chance to validate …

So, long story short, I went through a breakup about 5 months ago, and yeah, it still hurts like hell. I went through a really rough time. I’m trying to pick myself up, getting new hobbies, going to the gym, therapy, meeting new people, finishing college.

And return to gaming. I was always an avid gamer, I play a little bit of everything, but I heavily prefer singleplayer games. With that said, I’m looking for a game that I can lose myself in. Doesn’t matter if it’s linear, open world (preferably), I just want to lose myself in a game’s world for hours on end. I don’t care if I already played it before, I want to get lost, just as an escape for a few hours a day.

Thanks in advance. Love you all.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I currently own a PS5, so I would rather suggestions for that. Thank you so much for the kind words and suggestions so far. I’m not looking for pity but these things always suck. My prayers go for those who have gone, …

long story short i found out my dad is spending way way to much on his mobile games.

in one day he spent over 800 dollars in one day and did similar amounts 5 days in a row.

and ya obviously this is a symptom of something else but i need an intimidate diversion from this bad behavior.

i think the game is called “Evony The King’s Return”

i looked into it and its all the worst aspects of this particular kind of game designed from the ground up to make you an addict dropping 59$ to 99$ dollars on single “micro” transactions.

does anybody know of similar games without micro transactions he might like as an alternative?

or addicting because they are actually good mobile games? i play balatro and slay the spire myself but i don’t know if those are the games to ween him off his current addiction with.

i would even take a less predatory micro transaction games

EDIT:

Jesus people i know there are deeper issues at play but im not asking the internet …

I want a game where the mc is slowly losing their mind throughout the game and maybe become a villain near the end.

What I mean is a game that heavily relies on the story, for example “Outer Wilds”, a game that takes about 7 hours to complete but you can reach the ending in 7 minutes if you know everything. To make thing clear, im not looking for space game like “Outer Wilds” but a game that is rich in story and has fun unique mechanics.

Price range: anything below 30€

You’re the guy in the chair. You have to lookup blueprints and schematics. Monitor traffic and security routes. Look in from a spy satellite etc.
