Life Hacks

Inspiration

I wanted to create a good, useful flash briefing skill for Alexa, so I decided to make a flash briefing that would share a great daily life hack.

What it does

After a user subscribed to the Life Hacks flash briefing, daily life hacks are shared via the Flash Briefing.

How I built it

Using Glitch to host the Life Hacks RSS.

Challenges I ran into

I am trying to figure out a way to get usage data from the flash briefing — I am trying to use Dashbot's analytics, but Amazon does not provide any route to get metrics for Flash Briefings. I hope they address this soon.
