Slightly off topic:

In the video of the post you can see an option of run a script in an iPhone.

What's that option? It's really an iPhone? What are the capabilities of that functionality?

its with the shortcuts app. you can make little actions that appear in the share menu. I have one for downloading videos from twitter for example. It’s pretty limited in what it can do, but ive seen some cool shit people have made with it

I once needed to download PDFs from emails, and then post just one page from each to a Web form – and all I had was an iPhone and 3G at a Caribbean beach bar. Shortcuts are less limited than I thought!

A twitter vid downloaded shortcut is awesome, did you make it yourself or is it generally available?

yeah, shortcuts are insanely underrated.

Woah so it has MySpace aspects

What do you mean? iPhone is MySpace?

I meant the being able to run any customizable script aspect for a social network site. Xanga also allowed that too, iirc

Hive Social doesn't have that. The script here is on the iPhone.
