10 Thoughts | Day 13
If This Then Matt
IFTTT is an awesome service that conditionally connects the services you use (for example, I set one up to get an email every day notifying me to pack a rain jacket if it’s predicted to rain the next day). IFTTT already has a lot of great integrations, but these would put it over the top:
1 | Device Batteries and Messages
Having more devices means having more batteries to charge, and it would be great to be reminded to charge my devices if they’re about to die
2 | Twitter and Email for Fantasy Football Updates
It would be awesome to get an email with tweets from prominent sports analysts on my fantasy football players and players I’m interested in acquiring
3 | Twitter and Email for Sports Teams
Same idea, but I’d get an email rounding up the latest news on all the teams I follow
4 | ESPN and Twitter
This would give me the ultimate Assistant GM for my fantasy team if a bot were to automatically pick up backup players if the starter gets injured
5 | Spotify
I already use a Spotify integration that saves all of the songs in my Release Radar to an archived playlist, but it would be great to be able to automatically add songs to a playlist whenever people I follow add songs to their playlists
6 | RetailMeNot and Email
Imagine getting an email any time a valid coupon code was added for your favorite stores? My Bonobos addiction just got harder to kick
7 | Apple Messages and Nike+ Run Club
It would be cool to automatically text my friends notifying them that I’m unavailable if they message me while I’m running
8 | Headspace and Qapital
I use Headspace religiously during the week but never do it over the weekend, so I’d love to have money added to my Bonobos Spree goal on Qapital if I mediate over the weekend
9 | OpenTable and Email
At the beginning of each week, send me a list of restaurants I love with available tables for that coming weekend and allow me to book with one click
10 | Samsung TV + Comcast + Philips Hue Lights + Calendar
It’s 8:59pm on Sunday night, but why lift a finger when you can have your TV turn on, cable box switch to HBO, and lights turn off automatically for optimal Thrones conditions? It’s 2017, we’re not Wildlings...
