Personally I'd love to see an improvement to the backend UI. I spent a good 5 minutes searching around for "twiml apps" yesterday, finally resorting to just googling it.

This seems like core functionality of the backend. Why is it not placed somewhere more obvious?

I did a Twilio side-hack this weekend with a full multi-user phone tree and password layer.

Spent more time trying to navigate the developer portal than programming but wrapped up in about three hours.

It’s a testament to both how capable the API is and how terrible the UX is.

The graphics look nice but the layout is inscrutable.
