Thanks! Can I get code out of Twilio Studio Flow? Or can I just put a readme on Github?

Thanks to Dev and Twilio for hosting this hackathon! I would've never tried out Studio Flows before. It was really easy to build the app of my dreams, and a lot easier to build a platform I can share with non-developers. Looking forward to using this platform for future projects!

Well done on submitting an entry for the hackathon. I like the idea and i'll definitely look at Studio Flow in the future.

Thanks so much for the kind feedback! It was amazing to be able to get started and finish something with less overhead than I expected.

As the co-developer on this, a few words of thanks:

To Twilio, for building some pretty intuitive visual scripting tools. We figured out the basics in no time, and came up with plenty of ideas to try in the future.

To Dev, for hosting the hackathon. This was a genuinely great first experience, and I'm definitely looking forward to future events like this.

To Amber, for taking a gloriously ridiculous idea and running with it. We created a whole unusual Hypothetitech world in the demo with its own bizarre sense of humor, it was a great experience to craft and explore places which exist only in words. But the even cooler part? We built it as a template that can be easily swapped out with completely different branching experiences. Modular design on a comfortable scale, exactly the kind of project I want to work on more of.

To anyone who ran through the experience and enjoyed it. And even to those who didn't. Thanks for everyone!

Hey, great idea I was wondering the flowchart at the very beginning where can I make one like that too.
