How I worked on this project

• Created a Kanban board with Trello
• Sketched mockups of the UI

How to navigate the project highlights

• Conversational Form Component: client/src/components/CForm.js
• Detection Algorithm: server/services/detection.js
• Webhook handling incoming SMS: server/app.js

Why I built this project this way

• To apply my knowledge of the MERN stack
• Become comfortable writing recursive algorithms
• Work with third-party APIS: Twilio and Spotify
• Write integration tests
• Provide a solution for a real-life usecase that could handle +100 useers

If I had more time I would change this

• Mock the Spotify API to write a test for the detect function
• Add end-to-end tests with Cypress
• Set up continuous integration to run the tests on future Pull Requests
