Quickly recording zettels using Drafts.app…
I've messing around with Drafts.app. It's a wonderful scriptable text editor focused on quick capture.

This is gorgeous.
Thank you @pseudoevagrius! I'm excited… I've been plotting over building this little automation for a bit… and just finally getting it out of my head and as something I can use has been just so much fun. Let me know if I can help… the main script for Drafts is available here.
Bravo, excited mess around with this!
