I don't get it. Is it just a conference call? I wasn't going to give them permission to use my microphone or camera, so I couldn't tell if it did anything else.
Yes, it's essentially an app that creates online conference calls. I would have liked to ship some more features (list of participants, chatting, etc) but didn't have time.
This app also showcases two early versions of NPM modules for Twilio:
1) twiliosig[1]: used to valid that HTTP requests for TwiML documents are coming from Twilio.com and not an unwanted 3rd party.
2) twilio-client-token[2]: used to generate JSON web tokens[3]. This is a hard requirement for Node.js developers who want to build Twilio Client[4] web applications.
Okay, makes sense. It looks like a cool technology demonstration. I've been exploring node and I've done a lot with fantasy football so I'll probably check this out further.
I guess by "features" I was expecting things like a list of fantasy football players, a draft timer, a way to display who was picked, etc.
At best this was always going to be a companion app, since almost all fantasy football leagues (ESPN, NFL, Yahoo) have online draft tools. I wish that kind of data was exposed via a real-time API, let's hope someone from the Yahoo API team reads this thread.
