For Twilio's most recent developer contest, I decided to build an app to allow you to use their new in-browser Client API to record an audio message for your friends' birthdays.
There's plenty of room for improvement, like the ability to schedule birthday greetings to be delivered to friends on their birthdays in the future, which I might get to someday.
I'm also aware of the implications of people not allowing apps to see their birthday (even with the 'friends_birthday' permission granted to the user), so not everyone will necessarily show up in the list in the app. Sadly, there's not a workaround that I'm aware of.
Anyway, let me know what you think! This is the first hack project I've posted to HN. :)
