Intro

iOS 14 Custom Widget made with the help of the Scriptable app.
It shuffles one of your latest Pocket bookmarks and opens the article in Safari once you tap it.

Requirements

• iOS 14 Developer Beta 5 (or above)
• Scriptable TestFlight version 1.5 (156 or later)
  Join the beta here
• Pocket Developer API
  Please create an app in the Pocket dashboard in order to get your consumer_key and access_token. They are needed to obtain your bookmarks. Insert them at the top of the script. Here's a step by step guide on how to get them (→ the tutorial uses python but feel free to just use cURL or Postman.)
  Alternatively I built a Shortcut which automates the process of obtaining your Pocket access token and generates this whole script automatically. Just insert your Pocket consumer key upon import. After granting access & seeing the DuckDuckGo page, close the window on the upper left ("Done") to proceed. At the end of the shortcut, select your Scriptable folder to save the file. It will then appear automatically in Scriptable named "pocketWidget".

Thanks

A big Thank you to @simonbs for making great apps like Scriptable, DataJar or Jayson.
