We're thrilled to introduce Do to the world. It's an idea we've been working on ever since we started IFTTT and we can't wait to see how you put these apps to use. Our team has so many great ideas on how to evolve Do from here, these 3 apps are just the beginning!
@eriktorenberg we originally started with everything all in one app. In fact this was 3 years ago before we launched the original IFTTT app for iOS. The working name for the app was "Buttons". The big learning for us was that asking someone to understand and make a decision on both function and Recipe was just too confusing. Kind of like a swiss army knife with people only using one of the tools. As we broke it up into multiple single function apps, things became much easier for people to understand. It was a tough decision because of how tricky it is to manage multiple apps in an app store, let alone 4! After seeing the initial response to early prototypes of the split apart apps, the decision became much easier.
@miles_matthias we are seeing some folks have the same issues and we think the apps are still propagating through the App Store. They should be there for everyone soon!
This is exactly what people thought Yo! would be able to become, 1 button actions. IFTTT was able to use their existing web product and take it even further. Loving this! Great job @ltibbets & the IFTTT Team!
Like @s_m_isaid this morning, I wish you would take my money already. Such great products. Admittedly I underutilize IFTTT, but I'm looking forward to diving into these new apps.
Thanks for all you do :)
@ltibbets most excited about the Do Button @ home recipes. Now I just need to buy a lot more connected devices to properly be able to use them all.
The ones I've set up straight away are tweet current location & tweet photo (button & camera respectively) still going through all of them.
I love how the way you set it up makes it infinitely expandable. Every new channel you add to IFTTT over time can potentially be added here & that's just... mind-blowing.
@sleinadsanoj sweet, great to know and thanks for sharing. I've really enjoyed the Do Button and my Hue lights. Also, I use this Twitter Do Recipe everyday :) https://ifttt.com/recipes/255120...
I love the idea of consolidating apps based on function. It would be interested to see more of the opposite tools emerging (ones for viewing rather than doing) that utilize the same API-wizardry IFTTT does - Slack, Salesforce, etc come to mind.
What do you think it means for apps caught in the middle, whose users don't actually interact with the app in the app itself?
@thatguybg I agree viewing is an interesting space as well. It feels like notifications as they are in iOS and Android today still have a long way to mature. As we explore new interaction models, like watches, VR, Google Now and even Siri, its going to be interesting to see how the relationship between Developers <- Apps -> Users evolves!
At first glance, I'm reminded of Launch Center Pro, though they clearly build on top of APIs like IFTTT. How do you think of Button and Note in relation to their app?
@kicksopenminds we think its complimentary and also speaks to a potentially different audience. The Do apps are very much about helping people make things happen at a services (API) level and Launch Center is mostly about what happens with apps on the phone itself. Make sense?
@ltibbets love the concept as you know, but the execution is also truly excellent. The apps look stunning and functional. Congrats and looking forward to use them!
@sivola awesome, thank you! Our team is flattered. Always great to get something out to larger audience to find all the little nooks and crannies we overlook since we've been staring at them for so long.
Awesome job simplifying the product even more. I've always felt that IFTTT was too broad, kind of like the swiss army knife analogy. I think the next thing holding the product back is simplifying the market. As much as it sucks to scope down, IF for enterprise could do extremely well. Growth can come outwards from that. Best of luck, I really hope you guys make programming / doing things as simple as tapping buttons
This is huge. Really love these products and totally agree w/ @anderson760. I was an early adopter of IFTTT and so I am for "DO"! Great work guys. Thumbs up @ltibbets. Keep up the good work!
Love the UI—super chunky and dead simple! I also enjoy that these are three separate apps for the same reason—keeps them singularly focused and super easy to use. Yay, internetting all of the things!
