Summary

This project aims to build a real-time photo gallery that updates as new photos are received via Twilio MMS. The application consists of two components: a server-side Node.js Express server and a client-side web browser application built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery. When a user sends an MMS message to the designated Twilio phone number, the Express server receives the message, extracts the photos, and emits them to the client using Socket.IO. The client then updates its gallery with the new images, creating a real-time photostream that can be viewed in a web browser.
