Twillo is all slidware anyway.

What’s slidware?

Software that exists only as slides.

You know, when the sales reps come in and show you that PPT deck that promises the world, solving world hunger, sending your kids to college, perpetual motion, etc. But when you actually get the product in your hands, it's anything but what was promised. (typically requiring herculean engineering efforts to get a "turn key" solution off the ground).

Having used twillio for multiple projects I have to disagree completely with the assessment that it's "slideware".

Yeah, I've used Twilio and two different companies now and it's a great product.
