I love the idea of hosted open source projects which allow you to easily export your data if you decide later to run it yourself.
- tectonic 14y agoThanks! I'd like to make a version that's trivial to deploy to Heroku, or perhaps a pre-build micro EC2 image? I'm not sure I want to host more than a demo version because it could be used for scraping. The core idea is that this is something that you run yourself because you care about who has your data.
- adambenayoun 14y agoThis is a great project and will surely help a few people down the road starting their own clone of IFTTT :)
- jmathai 14y agoAwesome. Great work. Looking forward to digging in.
- cjbprime 14y agoCool. FWIW, I'd use a micro image (or instructions for installing on top of a standard Ubuntu 12.10 image) if it was available.
- coopdog 14y agoA Heroku or EC2 build would be amazing Hosted would also be good though, I think there are a whole class of people who don't care all that much who has access to their data so long as they could self host it (or have someone else host it for them) if the service ever stopped running.
- cbhl 14y agoI don't understand why those people would be using Flickr, Facebook and Twitter instead of, say, OpenPhoto, Diaspora, and StatusNet.
- beambot 14y agoBecause those services are 3-10 orders of magnitude larger than a startup running open-IFTTT as a service? Because they already have critical business operations interacting with these large(r) services? (Just two reasons I could imagine. But I get your point... especially with my recent sadness over Google Reader.)
