Why did IFTTT become so bad with the recent changes? Why did they have to "improve"? The updated app is horrible to use compared to the old one.
There's also the hugely popular Huginn, if you're on a Ruby stack (Trigger Happy seems to run on Django) https://github.com/cantino/huginn
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Huginn is great, but I wish it was easier to chain stuff together. Node RED has an awesome UI, but the building blocks are aimed at something else entirely.
What sort of stuff do you find hard to build?

Scrapers of sites that involve some conversion of data. The main gripe is that you can't modify a flow of agents in a single interface, so adjusting stuff involves a lot of going back and forth.

I'm not sure but I'm not happy with the change. I thought they did a great job of making conditional logic easy for the masses through their 'recipes'. The new applets hide what little complexity the service previously had and now its just confusing to me.
If you're on iOS (Android soon), try Stringify. Multiple ANDs/ORs/cascading actions, etc *I work for Stringify

I can't take this website seriously. But the project seems interesting.
There was never any vital day-to-day things I could build with IFTTT: I could email myself the daily forecast or things like that, but it was never a killer app for me. Most of the popular recipes[1] I see on IFTTT seem like fun little annoyances that would ultimately get distracting.
If it's really crucial to how you work day-to-day, what are you doing with it?
Is there anyone relying on IFTTT (or Huginn, or this) for non-trivial things?

It doesn't rain enough where I live for me to be in the habit of checking, so having something sitting in the background that will remind me the ~5 times a year I care is really really helpful.
I ride a bike to work so it helps me prep my rain gear. My morning commute time doesn't take into account finding gear and getting it on :)
