No third party Updater Shortcut required.
Safari Auto Scroll has an integrated update mechanism called Embed-a-Update. Thanks to the embedded updater, Safari Auto Scroll does not require any external updater shortcut. The shortcut checks for updates itself, so you'll always be up to date and never miss an update.

Tk's. suggestion : disable the lock screen during playback / stop the shortcut at the end of the text (if I go back the text manually, auto scroll continues to work)

Hey Kaartman, glad you like it. Well, unfortunately it is not possible to disable the lock screen with Shortcuts. The only way to stop the JavaScript is to reload the page. I would love to implement all you said, but unfortunately this isn’t possible yet. Sorry.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work with Notion pages in Safari but it does work with other pages e.g. BBC News on my phone (iOS 13.3). I did grant the shortcut access to Notion.so. Do you know what the issue might be?

Haven't yet downloaded this but, I'm suspecting those pages have implemented a way of disabling any third-party javascript from being executed on the page. It could be major work to get around that.

How / where to get version for iOS 12? “Past versions” takes me to Appstore for Shortcuts, which I downloaded today. Thanks in advance.

Amazing. Is there a way I can autorun the scroll down when opening a certain site through Siri?
For example, I have set up a shortcut for Siri to open ex: news.com by saying: "Siri, news". Is there a way to link the scroll down code following the site opening while executing this specific shortcut?

Safari Auto Scroll works only in Safari. If you open a PDF in Safari, you have to execute the shortcut, then Safari Auto Scroll will work as well. You must always execute the shortcut on the page that is currently active. So it also works in a separate Safari tab, but the shortcut must be executed again. I tested it with a PDF in Safari and it worked. Hope that helps. ;)

I'm sorry it's not working for you. Here is the proof that it is also possible with PDF files in Safari: https://streamable.com/*****

Thanks for the video. Well, I can imagine what the problem is. The shortcut runs in landscape mode, even though you are in portrait mode. Normally the messages and the menu should not come from the left, but from top. This will be the reason. But this is not because of the shortcut, but because of the iPad. Try to rotate the iPad. If all this doesn't work, then I'm afraid I can't help you. Then it must be an error of your iPad/iPadOS.
