Make shortcuts more responsive?

2024-05-28 00:00

One thing about the experience of using the current Shortcuts apps on any platform that involve large amounts of data leaves a lot to be desired.

I’d love for it in general to have any support for async / paralell processing of data, but I don’t expect to see that anytime soon.

However, what I really really want is for it to be able to load a shit load of data and just take forever, but not being unresponsive or beach balling.

I’d also love for a shortcut to be marked as done when it actually is done, and not when it is done and also have cleaned up all the resources etc it used. Because often when I do something like loading a bunch of entries from something add it them to a draft it will typically run for good while after it stops updating the Draft doing what I assume is to close open resources, GC memory etc.
