Raising my hand in agreement!
A couple highlights:
- Video syncing library before those became cool (2014). Originally built on top of firebase; now rewriting with my own backend. Very slow going :)
- Twilio server + interface. I'm my own service provider (thanks to Twilio)
- thwayunion 5y ago> - Twilio server + interface. I'm my own service provider (thanks to Twilio) What does this mean? You run a pbx that implements twilio's apis and can be accessed via twilio's api endpoints? Or something else?

- ahmedalsudani 5y agoTwilio is the PBX and gateway for calls + texts. I run a server that lets me receive calls wherever I am (SIP or forwarding, as required) and send messages. Like a self-hosted Google Voice but more flexible and with a greater choice of numbers + forwarding destinations. All my server does is respond to HTTP requests from Twilio and send HTTP requests when I send a message. Somewhere in the Twilio interface, you can define a SIP endpoint, but I forget where it is. That's enough for placing calls and does not require running a server. Almost forgot to mention that I receive text notifications via pushover because I am not an Apple developer ... so no app for me.

- ahmedalsudani 5y agoIt's ugly and not user-friendly but I encourage you to play with Twilio! They make everything super easy.
