How to Create and Share on RoutineHub: A Step-by-Step Guide

RoutineHub is where shortcut geniuses like you show off. Sharing your masterpiece isn’t just an upload—it’s a statement. Let’s make it quick and painless (mostly).

Step 1: Sign Up or Log In

You can’t join the party without a ticket.

  1. Go to RoutineHub.
  2. Click Sign Up or Log In (top right—don’t get lost).
  3. Drop your email and pick a password that screams “hack me” (or don’t).
  4. Verify your email and boom, you’re in.

Pro Tip: Pick a username that sounds cool. "ShortcutLegend" > "Bob123".

Step 2: Polish Your Shortcut

Would you serve a raw steak? No. Don’t post half-baked shortcuts either.

  1. Test It: If it crashes, fix it. If it burns phones, rethink life choices.
  2. Document It: What does your shortcut do? Pretend your audience knows nothing.
  3. Add an Auto Updater: This tool keeps your fans updated. (They’ll love you for it.)

Step 3: Upload Like a Pro

  1. Log in.
  2. Smash the New Shortcut button.
  3. Fill in the details:
    • Shortcut Title: Don’t call it “Shortcut1” unless you hate downloads.
    • Categories: Pick up to two that scream, “THIS IS FOR YOU!” Ctrl + Click like your life depends on it.
      (Examples: Productivity, Entertainment, or Snippets if you’re feeling cheeky.)
    • Required Apps: Does your shortcut need Spotify? TikTok? Some sketchy third-party app? List them here.
    • Brief Description: Think elevator pitch. You’ve got two sentences to sell this thing.
    • Description: Markdown-friendly. Break it down with sections, tips, and maybe a meme.
    • NSFW Warning: Is your shortcut a bit spicy? Click the box. Don’t make the mods hunt you down.

Step 4: Version Your Shortcut

  1. Add Version Details:
    • Version Number: Use a clear format like 1.0 or 2.1. Make it easy for users to track changes.
    • iOS Version: Specify the minimum iOS version your shortcut needs (e.g., 18).
  2. Provide the iCloud Link:
    • Paste the iCloud link to your shortcut (must start with https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/).
    • Test the link to ensure it works.
  3. Write a Changelog:
    • Summarize what’s new in this version.
      • Examples:
        • “Added error handling for invalid inputs.”
        • “Optimized speed for large datasets.”
        • “Initial release.”
  4. Agree to the Rules:
    • Confirm your shortcut:
      • Is your original work (or includes proper attribution).
      • Clearly explains what it does.
      • Doesn’t link to pirated or illegal content.
      • Marks NSFW content appropriately.
      • Respects user data privacy.
  5. Submit:
    • Double-check your version details and hit Submit.

Bonus: Add a killer icon. People judge books by their covers—and shortcuts by their icons.

Final Thought: Be proud. You just put your work out there. Now sit back and watch the downloads roll in—or prepare to tweak it after the first bug report. 💀
