Suggestions for app

[rui]

It would be great if the help form can directly built into the app. So user can ask question directly from app.

That would just bring you up to a web browser(safari). The only basic thing it would save you from doing is clicking the home screen and clicking safari

What if you could select some code or open the action menu with a script open and have a built-in button to automatically share it on the forums? Or maybe even to Pythonista-Tools on GitHub? Pythonista-Tools integration would be interesting, but I'm not sure if @omz would want to officially endorse a service outside of his control. You never know...

Although, a lot of this could be accomplished with your own scripts that you can link to in the action menu. You could use ui or dialogs or something.

@Gerzer everything on Pythonista Tools is hosted individually anyway, so the integration would be almost pointless unless adding it on to the export to GitHub action.

@techteej Good point, I totally blanked out on that one ;-P

@rui, You can do this yourself...

Save this code as ask_question_to_forum.py:

url = 'http://omz-forums.appspot.com/pythonista/new'
import webbrowser ; webbrowser.open(url)

• Click the wrench icon in the upper-right of the Editor screen.
• Click the + icon at the upper-left of the pop up window.
• Add the script to the action menu.

Now anytime you want ask a question, click the wrench and run this action.

The first time you will need to login but it should remember your credentials after that.
