I can't remember exactly why but I was frustrated with an inability to text my brother using iMessage on my computer. We were watching movies together and I had to use my phone which required looking at it, or something.

One weekend, I wrote a messaging app that used telnet and Twilio to make multi-user, terminal based, communication system with user management and other nice features. It was extremely cool.

He, being kind of a dick, would never use it so I lost it.
