Just like Monday following Sunday, delays will always appear when you least want them :(

TwilioHackathon - The First issue

Alice Hunter — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 07:16:00 +0000

Apparently didn't have HyperV installed which means no vagrant therefore no homestead q.q

Fixed with an annoying reboot of windows

Update 1

After installing HyperV it came time to mess around with the Homestead configuration, in Hyper-V manager I created a bridged switch called "Bridge"

I also had to create a local use for SMB shares so that the code can be seen by the Vagrant/homestead VM.

This is my current Homestead configuration

---
networks:
    - type: "public_network"
      bridge: "Bridge"
memory: 2048
cpus: 2
provider: hyperv
backup: true

authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

keys:
    - ~/.ssh/id_rsa

folders:
    - map: E:\clients\Internal\HackaThon2020\www
      to: /home/vagrant/code

sites:
    - map: homestead.test
      to: /home/vagrant/code/public
      schedule: true
      php: "7.4"

databases:
    - homestead
    - stackcoms

features:
    - elasticsearch: true
    - golang: true
    - mariadb: true
    - minio: true
    - ohmyzsh: true
    - webdriver: false
    - mongodb: true
    - python: true
    - rabbitmq: true

It now works and the "share" command is running ngrok tunnels so I can move onto actually making the backend now :)

TwilioHackathon - The late Start

Alice Hunter — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 05:59:28 +0000

As a certain white rabbit once said to itself:

"Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!" - Lewis Carroll

I've also been saying this myself lately due to the covid19 pandemic throwing a possible metaphorical hammer in the works.
So when I came across this link https://dev.to/devteam/announcing-the-twilio-hackathon-on-dev-2lh8 I thought well I'm late but that's no excuse, I should be able to make something in less than a week right?

Well if you're here reading this you're likely going to join me as I go down a rabbit hole known as I develop something :) as to what that is well I have a few ideas

Centralise all my Phone numbers & Text Messages
Phone App for seeing/replying to SMS
Phone App for Receiving / Making Calls
Web-Based phone calls?
My business's CRM and using that to power the way calls are routed through my IVR
Calendar Integration for Managing the IVR messages (maybe a covid19 warning?)

I'll be trying to live stream the whole development of this on my twitch channel
https://www.twitch.tv/alicetheawoo

As well I'll be posting updates on dev.to as I can

All the Code will be in the following Repo:
