Earlier this afternoon, I put out an ask on Twitter regarding how to use JavaScript to create a native Drafts Action for Zalgo Text. Delightfully, tagging @draftsapp in that post paid off, for just a bit ago, Greg – Drafts’ sole creator and guardian – actually replied with a link to an action he’d just posted called “Zalgos.”

As I said on Twitter, this is almost certainly the second most thoughtful gift I’ve ever recieved, though I had to share it with you. I’ve also created a shortlink: bit.ly/ddzalgo.
