Welcome to the Hackathon Alien Project! This project is an engaging and interactive SMS-based application designed to entertain and inform users with a range of features such as space diplomacy tips, UFO data, alien language translation, and real-time information about the International Space Station (ISS).
Offers humorous and practical advice for navigating interactions in outer space. Example tips include:
- "Do not comment on their glowing eyes—it's a sensitive topic."
- "Don't touch glowing buttons, unless you enjoy space roulette."
Displays UFO sightings and data retrieved from an external API.
Translates basic text into Klingon or other alien languages (version 2 in progress).
Provides real-time updates about the location and status of the International Space Station (ISS).
Allows users to exit the menu gracefully.
Users register by sending their phone number and name to the system. A confirmation SMS is sent back to the user.
Users receive a menu with options to choose from. Based on their selection, the corresponding function is triggered, and feedback is sent via SMS.
User and message data are stored and managed in the backend.
