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.
@matti Would Tasker go on this list?
Do you mean this thing? https://tasker.joaoapps.com
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.
@matti Actually… As of yesterday, it does.
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.
