Really sorry to hear it, but appreciate the feedback. We are working to address concerns across the board regarding ToS and communication. I'd be more than happy to hop on a call to address if you want shoot me an email, my first name at ifttt.com

We fully intend to make the APIs public, but are working with existing partners to implement. We are trying to be flexible and understanding, also are not throwing legal threats :)

Damn, that is good! I have reached out to Maciej as well.

Our apologies! We are smaller than you think :) Send me an email at my first name at ifttt.com

Our API is not yet open, but we very much want it to be soon. I stand behind our TOS and I agree that we can make it clearer.

We very much respect Pinboard's time and are willing to give them just about as much of it as they need. Am willing to spend our time as well! We are looking to improve all of these integrations over time, beyond what their API can support and the best way for Pinboard to do this is to own that integration completely.

Yes I did. Agree that we could make some improvements

I am the CEO over at IFTTT. I apologize for any misunderstanding our communications today have caused. I built the Pinboard Channel on IFTTT and have maintained it for years. I am also a paying customer of Pinboard! I’ve built for hundreds of platforms and any changes to those platforms by default suck. At IFTTT, we've been on the receiving end of platform changes too many times to count. I want to make sure we do it better. Pinboard is a beloved service. Every service is, on IFTTT or not. We care about the people who use them and build them. The changes we are asking for are indeed more work, but we know they will lead to a better Pinboard Channel on IFTTT in the long term. I'd love to see Pinboard stay on IFTTT and am willing to give them the time they need and even come over to help myself!
