  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 really wish I had the ability to:

  1. Call out any remote API.

  2. Schedule a task to run at a certain time of day.

  Basically, I want cron with workflow and recipes.

  I want their Channel Platform to come out so badly. Being able to hook any service into IFTTT would be incredibly powerful/useful

  I hadn't heard of Jot before. Looks really interesting and useful for a bunch of applications.

  To me, that looks around 99% Mac/Apple-centric, and that puts my interest firmly at zero.

  Touché that their open-source efforts can't actually be used on true open-source systems like Linux.

  I like IFTTT, but this was massively underwhelming.
