Comment on Open Source at IFTTT

Comments

I am in love with IFTTT's Do apps. The UX is purely phenomenon and has become part of my daily life. I hope they keep up these types of projects!

I have been meaning to dive in. What are some recipes/use cases that worked out best for you?

Making an Evernote note is great with do. I don't have to launch the app and risk switching context. Same with Todoist, Salesforce chatter, and more. The idea of one way UX (not just react-style unidirectional dataflow) where the user has a view for just data entry or retrieval is a powerful one.

I use it to email notes to myself. This recipe is one of the top killer features of my Apple Watch, as it means I always have a GTD input device available within about ten seconds.
