Were you a user of I Want Sandy?

I wasn't. What is it?

A virtual personal assistant based on Twitter / text messages.

How do you share lists between two people/numbers?

I'm rolling out that feature in a few hours. I was a bit ambitions, but it will be `send to {{number}}`. Glad to hear that you found this as an important feature. I think it will be valuable too :)

Context would be cool: send to Joe > What's Joe's number? xxx-xxx-xxx > Got it, you can just say Joe in the future.

That is very cool idea. I love saving the context there. It may be really cool to send an SMS contact too. That would make it one step less than the copy and paste.

How do you get an application like this setup with a phone number and interacting with other numbers? Curious if you have to rely on a particular service with recurring monthly charges or not.

Twilio, Nexmo, plivo.

Yup, I'm using Twilio. Super easy to use and pretty low cost. Not free, but makes life really easy.

I love this sort of interface. I want to have a use for it, but I haven't thought of a use case yet.

Try it for your grocery shopping list. That use case is what gave me the idea to build it.

So handy to just shoot a text instead of opening an app and navigating to the right list.

A way to name/share a list (so two people can push to it) would also be cool. I know myself and my s/o would use it to make a shared grocery list.
