It's hard to overstate how much easier the Twilio API has made it for developers to interact with SMS and phones.

When I first built StoryWorth, it only worked over email because I thought voice recording would be too complex (both to use and to implement).

However, users kept asking for it so I finally bit the bullet... and it was way easier than I expected. Using the Twilio API, I had voice recordings over the phone working within days.

The team is also super friendly. Less than a month after our launch, someone reached out to me and they wrote about our company on their blog:

Really glad to see their continued success!

Amen. I'm a hobbyist programmer and a while back I used Twilio and was amazed at how easy it is to use.

The finance geek in me is very excited to see their numbers and have a chance to do some due diligence and possibly invest.
