Here We Go!: Introducing The New Twilio Blog, As Explained In Terms of Super Mario Bros

When Mario gets his power-ups, do you pay attention to the (fire) flower or what Mario does with the power-up? The answer in all it’s Koopa-crushing glory, is Mario. The same principle applies for this very blog.

Here on the blog, we’re focused on what you build with Twilio, how you did it, and inspiring and equipping you to build the next thing your heart desires. The blog is a critical piece of that process.

With the help of our lovely design team, Swanky, we’ve redesigned the blog to make it easier to navigate, explore and build with Twilio. Think of it as your new Super Mario Bros Global map. We’re trying to make finding resources, inspiration, and updates as simple as finding out that the princess is in another castle.

That said, let’s see what’s new with the blog. As always, your feedback is encouraged.

Build More With …

There’s an uneasy feeling you get when you near the end of an awesome post. You’re not sure what you want to hack on next. To alleviate that, we’ve added a section at the end of  posts that recommends other technical posts in the same language you’re building with.

See it in action on Sam’s latest jamming JavaScript post.

Explore Posts by Stack or Product

It’s hard to pinpoint a specific hack you want to work on next. But, it’s easy to browse for inspiration. Now you can browse posts by the stack you’re building with or the product you want to hack on. We hope this will be of service the next time you fancy to finally give that new language a try or you want to dive right into your area of expertise…

Try it out by seeing what you can build if you want to sling some Python or maybe enter the wonderful world of building of Voice apps.

Responsiveness
