Bear Open Note Shortcut not working

Also, if you’re going to request Apple mark their shortcuts with “legacy”, I’d suggest also adding a note indicating which Bear shortcuts supersede it. This way, Bear users who should replace legacy actions know which actions to use in place of the legacy versions.

You could’ve also put all of this in your shortcut actions. “Add Text to a Note: this shortcut supersedes Add to Bear Note”. Not only does the notice on the website not indicate which action to use (just a list of legacy actions) but it’s also easily missed since there’s no connection to the Apple Shortcuts app where users actually build shortcuts.

I probably wouldn’t have cared about this a few years ago, but Apple has been putting significant effort into expanding Shortcuts. I think Bear could benefit by improving its Shortcuts actions.
