Made a Shortcut to start a new Blot post

I just made an Apple Shortcut that creates a new Blot post in the /Dropbox/Apps/Blot/posts/<YYYY>/<MM>/ folder, and it works on the iPhone where I use 1Writer, and also works on the Mac where I use BBEdit. I’m too embarrassed to share the shortcut here because it’s so sloppy, but it works and it’s one less barrier between having a thought and putting it out here. Shortcuts makes it really easy to ask for “Device Details”, and you can tell it if Device Type is iPhone or iPad or Mac or whatever, then <do this stuff>.
