Summary

The BeerText.Us team built an app that allows users to send SMS queries to a database of beer information, using the BreweryDB API and Twilio's SMS service. In just 72 hours, they grew to thousands of users and received feedback from the community, iterating to improve the service. After winning no prize but receiving recognition on sites like Lifehacker, their app continues to attract users and receive updates as they work to address issues and add features.
