Of course, there are IFTTT applets and there are IFTTT applets. For someone who’s not already an IFTTT user of any stripe, then it becomes just one more thing to learn, before I know whether I care enough to learn it. So easy to put that on a list and never find the tuits.

Now there seem to be 3 levels of IFTTTness:

- simple recipes that link from one thing to another, trigger to action
- applets that use our set of [IFTTT macros](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/ifttt-macros/804)
- platform applets like @mufflon’s excellent example
