Pressly is a hardware button connected to a 3.5mm male audio jack that plugs into the headphone jack of your Smartphone or Tablet. It is compatible with both Android and iOS(Jailbreak required) platforms. So, for instance, if you always wanted a shortcut to snap a photo and upload it straight to a social network you could create that function in the app which link to Pressly. Of course there are apps that can do this sort of thing, but the point about Pressly is that it\u2019s a chunk of hardware that sits within easy reach of your fingers \u2014 thereby cutting down on the number of actions required to perform the function you\u2019re after. Pressly is compatible with a number of apps listed further in the Instructable.&#8221; &#8211; Pressly: The DIY Almighty Smartphone Button, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instructables.com\/id\/Pressly-The-DIY-Almighty-Smartphone-Button\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/goo.gl\/dt1i5L<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Please follow me on Facebook at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/p\/384117628352230\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/on.fb.me\/1JydUQu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pressly: The DIY Almighty Smartphone Button<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":42718,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7,18,3658,29,32],"tags":[346],"class_list":{"0":"post-42709","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-consulting","8":"category-cv","9":"category-instructional-technology","10":"category-research-interests","11":"category-teaching-experience","12":"tag-google","13":"czr-hentry"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lemasney.com\/consulting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/FHC0HO5IE7J3GTU.SQUARE23.jpg?fit=130%2C130&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3h6y2-b6R","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":41486,"url":"https:\/\/lemasney.com\/consulting\/2014\/11\/22\/theory-smartphone-evolution-based-artificial-selection-lemasney\/","url_meta":{"origin":42709,"position":0},"title":"Theorem: smartphone as evolution of the human senses by lemasney","author":"lemsy","date":"2014-11-22","format":false,"excerpt":"A post on the evolution of humans being accelerated by smartphones.cc-by lemasney","rel":"","context":"In &quot;affiliations&quot;","block_context":{"text":"affiliations","link":"https:\/\/lemasney.com\/consulting\/category\/cv\/professional-affiliations\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"The obelisk is an iPhone","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lemasney.com\/consulting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2001-obelisk.jpg?fit=1200%2C558&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lemasney.com\/consulting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2001-obelisk.jpg?fit=1200%2C558&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lemasney.com\/consulting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2001-obelisk.jpg?fit=1200%2C558&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lemasney.com\/consulting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2001-obelisk.jpg?fit=1200%2C558&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lemasney.com\/consulting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2001-obelisk.jpg?fit=1200%2C558&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":72,"url":"https:\/\/lemasney.com\/consulting\/2012\/05\/19\/night-walk-in-ocnj\/","url_meta":{"origin":42709,"position":1},"title":"Night walk in OCNJ","author":"lemsy","date":"2012-05-19","format":false,"excerpt":"Tonight, Melissa and I took a walk on Asbury West Avenue from one end of Ocean City to 34th street, where we stopped at Wawa and had a 10 p.m. coffee.
