Connect with teammates without leaving your terminal

For the Twilio hackathon, I'm thinking of building a terminal chat application with python using Twilio's programmable chat api - kinda like Slack with private and public channels, direct messaging, etc but all in the terminal.

I'm still reading through the docs. I'll be documenting my progress here as I discover and implement what the api is capable of.

That reminds me of net send. What a marvelous idea. Like a CLI with options, etc.
