Challenge
Daily Stand-Up sucks. You have to do it at a scheduled time, you have to stand up, and you have to listen to "Chad" ramble for 15 minutes
Solution
This app makes Daily Stand-Up asynchronous, you can do it sitting down, and you don't have to listen to "Chad" anymore
Daily Stand-Up is a meeting that many developers have to do on a daily basis. And it SUCKS!
The reasons why we (developers) hate it:
- It’s just another meeting
- You have to stand up
- You have to listen to that one rambling co-worker (aka Chad)
I built this app that solves these problems
It was built with:
- Studio, a low-code tool from Twilio
- Airtable, a database/spreadsheet
- REST APIs that I built in Python and Flask
If you want to try it out, text anything to (844) 668-2535
Here’s how it works:
- You can set a scheduler that will text you at a given time
- When you reply, it checks to see if your number is valid (it does a number match from a database)
- Through code, it identifies your name
- It asks you: what did you do yesterday, what will you do today, do you have any impediments?
- After you respond, it sends the data to Airtable and stores it in the database
- You get a link to the Airtable, so you can see your team’s updates

By the way, I presented this to ~600 RSVPs during a 1-hour Twilio Webinar
