Abstract Text | While researchers have long investigated end-user program- ming using a trigger-action (if-then) model, the website IFTTT is among the first instances of this paradigm being used on a large scale. To understand what IFTTT users are creating, we scraped the 224,590 programs shared pub- licly on IFTTT as of September 2015 and are releasing this dataset to spur future research. We characterize aspects of these programs and the IFTTT ecosystem over time. We find a large number of users are crafting a diverse set of end- user programs—over 100,000 different users have shared pro- grams. These programs represent a very broad array of con- nections that appear to fill gaps in functionality, yet users of- ten duplicate others’ programs. |
