How I’m Using Twilio and Laravel to Have a Eurovision Party in Lockdown

Twilio` in combination with `Laravel` made writing the Eurovision voting application easy and quick. The author had most of the code written within a few hours, having tested it with several friends who all found it impressive. Although some features are still pending, such as notifying everyone of the results and statistics about scores, they can be added over time. The app will likely continue to be used even after parties resume, allowing remote participation and inclusion of distant friends. The author is happy with how the application turned out.
