Estimate reading time
Gets the length of an article from input and divides the words by 200 to get a rough reading estimate.
Use Reading List
Saves a story to reading list if one is found, otherwise opens the Reading List section of Safari.
Shortcut Information
I use this to jump into articles I’ve saved without having to tap on Safari and find the Reading List icon before activating it – I find this single shortcut makes Reading List way more useful.
Plus, when used from the Share sheet or run with a link on the clipboard, this shortcut will also add it to your Reading List.
