#62These new generation of applications with deeper integration on Android have become my favorite feature of Android. Facebook's chat head, LastPass's Fill into the Apps, etc. completely changes how you use your smart devices.
Try LinkBubble also, if you haven't already. I agree that we're finally starting to see talented devs really take advantage of the extra freedom Android gives them to extend the platform. From where I sit there's a lot more innovation happening in apps on the Android side now and the quality gap has closed in most cases.

#63Will IFTTT have traffic triggers in the future? I've been wanting a way to get traffic alerts before leaving work for years. I've found a few places that offer it, but nothing has been reliable. In a perfect world I'd tie traffic conditions to when my alarm clock wakes me up!
Doesn't Google Now sort of offer that functionality (I take the train so it doesn't tell me that but it always tells me the distance to home/some event/work)

#65Can't even login to the main site now, must be getting hammered. Any IFTTT recipes for sending a text when you're within a certain radius of a target? That'd be nice.
You can make one easily enough. There is a location trigger and you can scale the distance. It may not be as precise as you'd like and the smallest zone was still pretty large.

Is this what you are looking for: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
That's a web-based version of https://lekensteyn.nl/apk-downloader/ , and according to that site it adds spyware. Considering that the site you linked has pop-up ads for dubious downloads, that seems likely. In any case, both of those still require having the Android device registered with a Google account.
I'm trying to understand what this means. Does it mean that evozi has added spyware to the apks I've downloaded? I've used this to get all the apps that were not in F-droid, so I'm quite concerned.

#67I just installed it on my iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4. Already had an account, I knew what was all the fuss about and I went my way and create a new receipe using my device delicious new "this" or "then" !
So it goes : "if any new photo taken with front camera then add file from URL to marcelftw's Dropbox".
I took several photos, but the receipe has never been triggered :( I'm a bit confused. So I went and edit the dropbox actions. So it saves photos in "selfies" with file name has "selfie-{{TakenDate}}". And the "Check Now" says everything is alright.

You are unable to spoof SMS numbers. Twilio has documentation on this if you'd like more info (experience: I tried, so I could SMS birthday messages to my contacts without remembering, but having it look like it came from me).
You're absolutely able to spoof SMS numbers from a technical standpoint, but you'll have to go straight to an SMSC or aggregator that lets you do it. I haven't checked in years, but we had to write an SMPP library to pull it off. That sucked.
I should have qualified my statement.
