More From This Folder
See stories from Bay Area
Opens to the full “Local” area in the Apple News app. Create your own for your Local news section.
See stories from San Francisco Chronicle
Opens to the free stories shared by the San Francisco Chronicle for Apple News+.
Extract link from Apple News URL
Scrapes the original URL from a given apple.news link by loading the redirect and pulling the first link off the page.
Show me tech news
Uses the Show Topic action from News to open into the main Technology news category, which I’ve found is a good superset or generic term that captures all the best stories from tech subjects I’m interested in before I dive into more specific topics.
Show my saved stories
Opens into the Saved Stories tab of the News app, where you can quickly access news stories you’ve saved for later – I’ll often save multiple stories as I browse, then visit this tab to read them all one-by-one.
