Sorry, I copied ifttt.

The target of yaif is to connect services in the internet, let them work together and automatically.

Basically, a typical services will have some triggers and actions. For example, Twitter. The home line of Twitter is a trigger, you can get information from it and to do something depends on the content of a tweet. And to post a tweet is an action, which will update and change the status of your home line. Yaif's target is connect all different services. You can create some task, get information from a trigger of A Service, and do an action in B Service.

1. Clone the code and prepare the rails environment.

2. Copy the ./service.template to ./service

3. Update the service information in ./service, for example: oauth secret and key. The update information depends on service authentication type.

4. Run command to import service to database:

   $ rake service:import
   

5. Open config/application.rb and change below username/password:

   config.basic_auth_username = 'username'
   config.basic_auth_password = 'password'
   

6. Make a invite to your self:

   $ rails c
   irb > u = RegKey.new :email => "[email protected]"
   irb > u.save
   irb > puts u.key
   db716e8d8          # this output depend on your computer, only example here
   

7. Start your rails server.

8. Create a new user. Access your site: http://yoursite/signup?reg\_key=db716e8d8 . The reg_key is the output of step 6.

9. Access http://yoursite/crontab with username/password set at step 5. Add lines to your cron to trigger tasks interval.

10. Enjoy.

1. Custom error handler. Some action error should be ignore. (for example: fobidden word in weibo)
2. Multiply user meta for one service.
3. Make normal http login request. (It ought to save user's password directly. Is it OK?)
4. Make some css. (I'm lazy…)
