Inspiration
Friends and I in the bitcoin space found ourselves constantly refreshing bitcoin price on web page. But sometimes I am not around my phone/laptop and it is hard to get the price. And sometimes I am just too lazy to lift my finger.
What it does
It tells you the current bitcoin price in different currencies
How I built it
I consulted Alexa examples and used AWS lambda
Challenges I ran into
Convert between currency names and tickers (For example, dollar and USD). User will not say "give me bitcoin in USD". Rather they will say "dollar".
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
That I use it everyday
What I learned
Voice-activated app design is quite different from the usual apps. The interaction model is challenging.
