This looks awesome! I've always been looking for something like this. Stamplay[1] has been like IFTTT for backend development, but it simply can't match the number and quality of modules of IFTTT (yet). This will make integration with many different service providers super easy.

This looks fantastic. I don't have a lot of experience with Express, but this seems like a great way to connect IFTTT to smaller, personal web apps. I'm definitely going to look into applying this to some other frameworks.

It really shines for RaspberryPi home automation :) I'm currently preparing a blog with a little more details about it.

That's pretty clever - they implement the Wordpress Blog API in Express so they can use IFTTT - no reason to think that you couldn't do the same in any other framework.

Actually, the original implementation was using PHP. But the overall architecture of Express made it pretty easy to build on top.
