#twiliohackathon

What I built

I used the programmable chat API from Twilio to code what I call a "one-way data binding chat." It demonstrates one-way data binding in a fun and engaging chat app.

How I built it

I built it using Laravel and I deployed it on my forge server. The stack is as follows:

Ubuntu/Nginx
PHP/Laravel
MySQL
Javascript/React

Notable integrations: The Twilio Programmable Chat

What I learned

This is my first time using React as Laravel frontend. It's my first time using Twilio. It was kind of hard to get Twilio to agree with my React app at times, but I got it worked out.
