Editorial Workflows

Get Quote

public workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: Type a few words from a quote and an author's last name to pull the quote from GoodReads.

If no text is selected, it will use the current line.
If there are no results on GoodReads, it will run a Google Search on the In-App Browser.

I like to use the workflow inline by using the abbreviation "gqt". You can also select text and send it to the workflow using a shortcut key via a keyboard or manually tapping it.
