Buttermilk

Cool CLI tool to make shortcuts from Text.

Compatible with:

Buttermilk is coded in 100% C, meaning you can run it on just about any device that can compile and execute C. Windows/macOS/Linux? Of course. iOS/Android? You'll need a third party app to compile it on-device, but yes. Your toaster? If it can compile/run C, likely yes.

(You can also use the action ids from WFActions.plist if they aren't in actionnamesrev.json (although I highly don't recommend this), for example is.workflow.actions.downloadurl())

Smart Comments:

While you can use Comment() in your buttermilk, Buttermilk also has support for smart comments, meaning you can also use //.

Smart Multi-Line Comments:

With buttermilk, you can use /* to start a multi-line comment, and */ to end it.

Not yet implemented features:

-Smart Ifs

-Smart Untils

-Magic Variables

-Action Parameters (Note: Semi-implemented in 0.0.4b1, however extremely limited atm)

Examples:

If you want some examples for Buttermilk, for shortcut to butter conversion use the file located in put/AfterButter.dhortcut. For butter to shortcut conversion, use the file located in put/TestButter.butter.

What about an app?

Buttermilk is currently a CLI tool. While I was planning an app as well, I don't know if I really have enough time anymore to make one. If I do eventually free up my schedule for an extended period of time, then you can expect a Buttermilk app, which will be for iOS/iPadOS/macOS (maybe more platforms if I get around to it). Don't count on it however.
