Hello everybody out there,

I've been working on a Flask extension, called Flask-Ask, for programming
Alexa skills on the Amazon Echo. I've been working on this for a few weeks
now and have a release pushed up to pypi, samples, and documentation.

The Alexa service is based on its own request / response model that uses
JSON over HTTP. I made Flask-Ask's API similar to Flask's in that regard
with routing / parameter mapping, context locals, and integration with
Flask's template system.

The code and samples are available at

https://github.com/johnwheeler/flask-ask

The documentation is here

http://flask-ask.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I'd like to know what people think of the API and what features they want.
I'm working on a tutorial that shows how to rapidly develop skills with
Flask-Ask and ngrok.io, and I'm available for a Google Hangout if you want
to try and need help in the interim.

John
