How we built a terminal interface for our conference using React

This blog post discusses the development of SIGNAL Developer Mode, a terminal interface for the Twilio conference that allows developers to build and explore Twilio products while watching keynotes. The project was built using React and the ink library, which provides a graphical user interface for the terminal. To leverage both front-end and back-end concepts in the same tool, the team used Apollo Client and XState state machine framework. The development process involved building components that could handle different terminal sizes and rendering issues, such as flickering text. The project aimed to provide an intuitive experience for attendees to start building and exploring Twilio products, with features like a catalog of sample apps, demos, and resources section.
