I just got the following email from Das Keyboard about IFTTT, and it made me think of Beeminder: > Over a year ago we decided to deprecate the Q service on IFTTT. The decision was made because we wanted to ensure a great user experience with our Das Keyboard Q applets, without having to rely on a third-party provider. This is why we built the Das Keyboard Q applet marketplace as a replacement, which is open source and many are contributed by our users. The Q applets now cover a great number of use cases from Gmail, Trello, Mojo Helpdesk, ping service, Asana, Twitch, health applets, parcel tracker, weather, stock quotes and more… > At the time we felt strongly that this was the best way forward for your Q keyboard, and IFTTT recently confirmed this feeling when they drastically raised their pricing model, making their service out of reach for us to serve the ever-growing Das Keyboard community. > Only a small subset of all Q users are using IFTTT, and in a few days, the IFTTT / Das Keyboard service will be discontinued. If you are using IFTTT, we recommend using the applets from the Q marketplace located inside the Q desktop application to fill your needs. So it’s clear that Beeminder’s continuing with IFTTT is not sustainable. I understand Beeminder has a deal set up with them for the next few years, but what about after that? Should Beeminder in-house this and create its own system? I think that would bee awesome!
