Appreciate the heads up on the browser issue. We'll look into it. I think you're really going to like what's possible with Maker. Stay tuned for new capabilities throughout the year as well!

Hacker News is now on IFTTT!
We had a great time working with the Hacker News API to build out the new IFTTT service.
When designing the service we went for broad triggers that allowed for flexibility. Some of my favorite Applets are saving the best HN stories to Pocket, sharing to Slack when "IFTTT" is mentioned in a story, and archiving my HN comments in a Google spreadsheet. Check it out:
Save the best Hacker News stories to Pocket https://ifttt.com/applets/WQapbsGt
Post to Slack if your company is mentioned in a top story on Hacker News https://ifttt.com/applets/wqpUgyDx
Archive comments from a specific username to a Google spreadsheet https://ifttt.com/applets/FXF8CKpd
The timing around the project was perfect too, as we recently announced a free tier for our developer platform exclusively for Makers. Makers can create Applets with multiple actions and custom JavaScript filter code. For more on Maker, see https://platform.ifttt.com/maker
Looking forward to your feedback.
