TLDR ToDoBot was an experimental side-project, so we worked on it in between meetings, customer calls, on a commute, and late commute. We wanted the user to be able to perform multiple actions so, we had to resort to the “overflow” element.

We then add every message to the ToBot that represents the current state a person’s todo list.via the TL;DR App
