This HN post on unbundling Zapier has gotten me thinking about software integrations and whether Zapier is "good enough": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23126455<p>Curious to know what two applications you most want integrated, and why the Zapier integration is not good enough?
Evernote + a Markdown Editor + Weblog Post Publisher<p>There's Marxico that does the first two, but it's paid. On top of Evernote, you'd have to pay $16 a year just to be able to write in markdown.<p>It'd be nice to be able to jot down your thoughts in the editor, sync it with an Evernote notebook - specifically selected for weblog posts - and see your post appear on your blog.
In my industry (construction wholesale), there's a whole lot of systems that:<p>- don't have APIs<p>- have partial APIs (e.g. ask the company if they have an API and they send a PDF of a rough incomplete API they use internally and tell you that it can be used with basic auth and can change at anytime with no warning)<p>- undocumented APIs<p>Zapier probably doesn't even have these systems on it's radar but APIs and connectivity are sorely needed.
Applications, or services? Zapier is just for services, right?<p>The whole question sounds wrong to me. It’s like asking “Which two programs do you want to be able to pipe between?” All of them!<p>If you’re defining “integration” in a way that one program only works with one other program, that’s part of the problem.
Slack and Trello.<p>I'd love to be able to have a '#trello' channel where I can see my full board without having to leave the Slack interface.
