What they did
Write on your phone and finish at your desk? MacStories editor John Voorhees wrote a Friday post on his phone on a small plane with no Wi-Fi. When he got signal, he sent it to his ChatGPT Dot, which proofread it and pinned it in Obsidian so it was ready when he got home.
How it went
A proofread draft waiting in your notes app.
Worth knowing
- One X post. Ask for a list of changes so you can check nothing important was altered.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Here's a draft I wrote on my phone: [paste]. Proofread it for typos, grammar and unclear sentences, but keep my voice and don't rewrite whole paragraphs. List what you changed. Then save it as a new note in [Obsidian folder] called [title] and pin it so it's at the top when I open the app.
