I can see that some of these are "wanted to scratch an itch" but then there's things like "when matrix67 publishes something new." Since the service relies on Thingpedia, can I choose which Things to include? Does this namespace run the risk of becoming cluttered (if I search for "matrix" is that going to give me Matrix films, or posts from Matrix67)?
I see that a one of the trigger keywords for ArXiv is "paper". This causes Almond to fail for fairly trivial searches like "how is paper made?" When I try things I'm fairly certain won't be recognized because it's not a Thing, I get completely random results:
"wikipedia article about paper" -> YouTube Category ____ if the title contains "paper"
"wikipedia" -> Dropbox (demo only message)
"play a random video" -> Spotify gets "YouTube videos matching ____ and then play the artist the result" (saying Yes transfers control to YouTube Thing)
"random facts" / "random fox" -> No problem, surely.
"news about Kanye West" -> random fact about Kanye West (because that's all that Thing does)
And a few other searches which will need some love before they're ready for broad release:
(any search for "price of ____ on Steam" must be an exact title match)
"what is the price of "the witcher 3" on steam" -> not found
"what is the price of "the witcher 3: wild hunt" on steam" -> The current price of the witcher 3: wild hunt is $11.99. (correct, but GotY edition is $14.99 right now)
"how much is "THE WITCHER 3: WILD HUNT - GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION" on steam" -> Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'price_overview' in undefined.
I'm not sure what my overall point is with this post; I'm very likely going to contribute, but I can see there's still a ways to go before it compares with the commercial products.
