Is there another werewolf skill on the Alexa marketplace? No? Whyever not?
When we first heard about this Hackster.io contest, we already knew we wanted to develop a skill that would turn the standard Alexa facts skills template on its head. Inspiration struck as we were grooving along to Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London."
Drawing upon our extensive experience within the were community, we would create a standalone Alexa skill dedicated to the daily needs of werewolves. We would include relevant information about moon phases, hunting reports and prowling tips - all readily available through a Voice Assistant (VA) system. Our skill would eliminate the usual awkward fumbling with keyboards or touchscreens while mid-change with furry fingers.
We wrote the content and uploaded the material to the completed skill in just under an hour. And it is awesome.
Our next project will serve the zombie community.
