I can see what you're doing and even sort of admire the hustle. But in the grand scheme of things ifttt.com will always have the stronger brand. For one thing, they work now, and I give them my auth proxies because they do useful things for me. I don't have to give them my email on the promise of a "Sneak Peak".
