I created an app that texts you NBA news.

Challenge

It's the NBA offseason ("F5 Season") and fans want the latest breaking news.

Solution

Text your phone "F5" to get NBA alerts for the day.

F5 Season is an NBA meme that means fans are constantly refreshing their news feeds to learn about breaking news.

> F5 on your keyboard is the refresh button.

I built an app that sends you NBA news whenever you text “F5” to your Twilio phone number. Why? Well, during the NBA offseason, fans want to have up-to-date info about recent trades or trade requests.

I also wrote a tutorial, so you can build this app yourself. Check it out on Twilio’s Blog.
