Texting ToDos
I recently resurrected a project which allows me to be able to send TODO items from my Apple watch. I can use Siri to say something like "Text todoist" with Twilio as the contact number. Siri handles the speech-to-text portion and sends the message to Twilio, which is configured to route the text message to my proxy via a webhook, which then creates a new task in Todoist.
Would it make Rube Goldberg proud? Possibly. Is it gratuitous? Absolutely, but also very handy as I often find myself in my default mode while driving and think of things I need to do. Is there an easier way to go about this? Probably, but when you have an API hammer everything becomes an API nail.
