Hi, I’m new to Hook. I’ve already discovered some interesting uses. Unfortunately, one place where I’m running into some friction involves my use of Workflowy. I understand that the native Workflowy app doesn’t yet have the sort of API that allows for easy Hook links.
However, every single page on Workflowy has a URL. If I use Workflowy in Safari or Chrome, Hook can find the link (I assume because it’s just pulling the url as it would from any website opened with Safari/Chrome).
Where I run into problems again is that for multiple reasons I prefer not to use Workflowy in a normal browser tab. Chrome has a function where you can taking a website and turn it into a standalone app (in other words, I open that application and it’s Workflowy in Chrome with all of the extensions, etc.). The problem is that the Chrome app doesn’t display the URL, and Hook doesn’t seem to be able to access it. See example in screenshot where it displays the name of the page I opened to “Test Example” instead of the workflowy.com URL.
I might be able to copy the link of that current Workflowy page in a convoluted way using Keyboard Maestro or something, but it feels like at best that would allow me to copy the link to the clipboard and paste it somewhere else. The next time I was back on that same Workflowy page, I wouldn’t be able to pull up all Hooks.
Is there a way around this that I’m not aware of? Or if I want to use Hook bidirectionally with Workflowy, are we only options to either use it in a standard browser tab or wait until Workflowy builds an API?
Hopefully my question makes sense. Thanks for any thoughts.
