Done! Always let me know if the forum isn’t letting you do something. I can do other things like bump up your trust level or whatever.
Added two more integrations!
P. S.: I hope it’s okay that I bump this thread after updating the list, so people would notice those updates and can give feedback.
Yeah. If you have both Tasker and the Beeminder app on an Android phone, you can use Tasker to submit data to a Beeminder goal, so seems like that might fit under “Tools to create arbitrary integrations.”
Other possibilities: integromat, found at integromat.com, and huginn, found at https://github.com/huginn/huginn
Oh, and we should mention @narthur’s TaskRatchet!
Anyone know if @matti is still updating this?
@zedmango Thanks for the ping. I think I’ll keep on updating the list as long as stuff is brought to my attention. I did not add Taskratchet, because although it is a great thing, it does not offer a Beeminder-Integration.
It does? I didn’t get an email! How does it work? More details please
Sure! @adamwolf pointed those out here: track lateness to online meetings - #6 by adamwolf
It’s the simplest possible integration for now. Go to your settings and authorize TaskRatchet to access your Beeminder account, then set a Beeminder goal name in your TaskRatchet settings. From then on a data point will be added to that Beeminder goal every time you create a new task.
I’m certain the integration will be able to do more in the future, but this is a start.
Why send a data point for creation as opposed to completion?
Because that’s the integration I wanted in order to make sure I dogfood the service.
But why?
I’d rather have a beemergency for creating a new TaskRatchet task than one for completing a task.
Why?
Because TaskRatchet tasks are their own commitment devices, and I prefer my Beeminder goals to be as straightforward to satisfy as possible while still making their intended impact.
Why?
Because I edge skate a lot so I don’t want satisfying my goals to take more time than necessary to the value they provide.
Why?
Because I’m a very akratic person.
Why?
I have absolutely no idea.
Hey @matti! @narthur has started a Beeminder Wiki and I had the idea of adding this list to it, that okay with you?
Go ahead. Sounds like a cool little project.
