Ryan was a fantastic mentor to me and a lot of people in the jailbreak community. His work set a high bar for what tweaks could be, and Activator in particular spawned a small ecosystem of quick actions. I’m honored by the comparison :) (context: I work on Shortcuts)

That's awesome to hear! Sorry if my comment came off as snarky. I was pretty involved in the jailbreak scene back in my iPod Touch days (years and years ago), and I'm really happy to see some of the functionality I loved then coming to life now (in a much more polished way :))

Sooooo...a quick skim of the article indicates that personal automations can now do what you're missing. My question is, are you complaining about something that this article specifically addresses, saying "yea! About time!", or...? Because your "point is" is specifically addressed by TFA.

It’s a valid complaint. I haven’t used android in 5 years and I still miss tasker. It’s the kind of basic, important tool that any personal device should have. It isn’t difficult to implement well. There really isn’t a good excuse that it took so long and it is nice to finally have. Every “reason” why it took so long is simply someone imposing their personal opinions onto a wide range of users.

Does this finally end the nonsense that is Dropbox being unable to stay open and finish uploading photos? I.e. could I set it to open the Dropbox app every ten minutes during the night?
