Maybe it's worth a boost: 'Siri AI does not resume schema backed AppIntent correctly after non-schema entity disambiguation.' FB24348068 Disambugation at least prompts the suggested entities but doesn't continue. NeedsValueError just stops execution, no prompt. @mattcassinelli

Couple months ago started working on rebooting my old Songfeed project. Songfeed tracks all the new songs added to the playlists you follow on Apple Music (and Spotify).

New feature available in the beta: you can now create smart playlists and updates will appear in your feed. In addition to what's available on macOS/Shortcuts, Songfeed supports filtering by quality and copyright (record label).

Replying to @Apple
@Apple closed our developer account and removed all apps → Apple has not paid us $108,878 revenue (this amount is for 3 months). → Our 6 applications had a total of $33,680 MRR as of September 20, 2023. → One day before removal, we had 1209 active trials. → We are left without means of existence. The applications were our sole source of income. I cannot convey the challenges that we and our families have faced due to the account termination. We hired a lawyer and are currently filing a pre-trial claim against Apple. Please, read our story and sign the petition bit.ly/sarafan-apple #buildinpublic #iosdev #apple #indiehackers

I have a new version of Soro out now, adding a 'Speak Text' feature that is basically the Sonos version of the Intercom shortcut action that is available for the HomePod.
