question

Right now we can't share our Alexa Skills with anyone. Well, I came up with a way to, at least, let other people preview them. I bundled up the EchoSim code and put it behind a servlet. Then I wrote a HTML/Javascript UI on top of it. It can connect to any Alexa skill on a public endpoint (not Lambda functions yet) and let a user interact with that. They have to type instead of talk (for now). But people can at least see what you're up to and you can get feedback. The landing page here has several of my demo apps linked up: http://echosim.mybluemix.net/ If you examine how the URLs link to the display page, you can work out how to get it to display your own app. You just need to pass it your endpoint URL, and a URL pointing to your intents file and your utterances file. You can optionally specify a title (and a appid and userid). If you want me to add a bullet point for your app, let me know. It would be nice to have a preview-app-store! Source code is in the GitHub EchoSim project: https://github.com/jjaquinta/EchoSim Contributors, bug reports, and feature requests welcome. [I'm also working on integrating BlueMix's TextToSpeech and SpeechToText into this, to give a more Echo like experience.]
