Live Text in Preview<\/a> to select any text on the screenshot, then Select All, copy, and paste into BBEdit or another text editor to search.<\/p>\nThe next problem is that there are 264 items listed on that slide, so I\u2019ve grouped them by platform and app, with a few extra categories for things that didn\u2019t fit elsewhere. (In reality, I had ChatGPT do a first pass, and then I moved numerous sections and items around because I disagreed with many of its decisions. It was still a time-saver.) Some items may not be in the right spot since I had to guess at where they went from only a few words.<\/p>\n
To make it easier to read through this massive list, I used the HTML details and summary tags, which make the list collapsible. Everything is open to start, but you can close each section as you read to reduce the chance of getting lost in the list.<\/p>\n
Which of these changes are you most looking forward to?<\/p>\n
