Shuffle HEY World shortcut
Use Apple Shortcuts to open a random post from a random HEY World blog.
Looking for a little reading roulette in your life? Each time this shortcut is run, it will open a post to read on a random HEY World blog.
It is random, but you’ll see that posts skew toward March 2021 when the feature was released and so many people tried blogging for the first time.
Note that when the web view is dismissed, the post cannot be revisited unless you get lucky again by random. So share it if you want to save it!
The origin and methodology of this shortcut are documented in this blog post. Thanks to JF Martin for the inspiration!
