I get four of these per month.


This is super tasteful and clean. Well done.


This is just heartbreaking.


They had a good run, unlike the Atari ST and Amiga shops that went bust not years after opening.

There was a store here that specialized in Newton hardware which, for a few years, was flying high and could do no wrong. Then the end came and they shuttered the store.

That was heartbreaking. We had a Concorde moment there and we still haven't caught up with it.


My favorite part about waiting at tekserve was always getting your ticket and then just watching the fish in that giant aqua-scaped freshwater aquarium they had. It was so impressive. I always wondered who maintained that thing.


Very sorry to hear about your experience. Do you reckon you could reach out to rob [at] twilio?

Keen to hear more about the deliverability issues you are experiencing.


Rob from Twilio here - the firms listed in the first two paragraphs are the new folks who are joining in this round, not the exclusive list of all participants.

BVP did participate in this round - great team to work with.

[edit] typo.


Good question - one of Twilio Video's aim is to take a lot of the signaling headache away. We do expose the PeerConnection, but not the SDP object.

What would you want to use it for?


Extra authentication; new roles; address filtering (recognize VPN path etc); bundling control...


Check. Good feedback.


Rob from Twilio here - appreciate the feedback.

Have you had an opportunity to check out TaskRouter yet? We released it a few weeks ago - definitely my favorite recent product that works with Twilio Voice:

Interesting; however in my opinion I'd redesign that page. Having a lot of the information behind the interactive scrolling will cause it to be lost. Personally, and I know a lot of others, just scroll the page and look for the relevant information in paragraph form. Much easier to digest. This implementation forces me to stay on the page and is a bit frustrating.


I just posted the exact opposite of what you said :) Usually these "scroll hacks" are annoying. In this particular case the "flow" of calls is captured really well this way, IMHO.


Heheh, to each their own :)


Thats a pretty cool use of scroll to explain the product. Any details on how you guys built that? Is it completely custom or did you use some known JS/CSS lib/tricks?


Thanks for the kind words! We used a library called ScrollMagic (https://github.com/janpaepke/ScrollMagic) to handle the scroll listening and event triggering.


I saw this a while back and then forgot to go back and check it out. This looks interesting. Thanks for posting.


FWIW the scrolling effect is all jittery (and pretty much unusable) in Safari.


Rob from Twilio here - confirming this is an accurate description. Each peer in the conversation has a connection to every other peer.


Is there any chance of scaling WebRTC any better than that?


Absolutely - we have a lot of ambition around where we want to take Twilio Video in the future.

This is only the first step.


Awesome - thanks for giving it a swing.


Mmmm - great feedback. We do provide this service for our phone numbers to do a CNAM lookup on inbound communications - can see how it would be useful for Twilio Lookup as well.
