this is a simple app that uses twilio to message two roommates and assign them dishwasher duty every day. to run it, you will need node. just run:
npm install --save twilio
node index.js
you will need a config.json file in the same directory as index.js. the format is as follows:
{
"account_id": "TWILIO_ACCOUNT_ID",
"auth_token": "TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN",
"to_numbers": [ { "name: "NAME_1", "number": "PHONE_NUMBER_1" }, { "name": "NAME_2", "number": "PHONE_NUMBER_2" }, ... ],
"from_number": "TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER"
}
once you fill those in, run the index.js file and it should begin working. this will create a history.json file for you in the same directory, that it will use to maintain "fairness". you can run this app as either a cron job or some other scheduling service or something. an example cron job is (run crontab -e to access cron jobs file):
00 11 * * * /usr/bin/node PATH_TO_INDEX.JS
this will run node index.js every day at 11AM
