Killer Skill for Echo? Developers need more from the platform first.

[goberoi]

Hi folks,

I'm an enthusiastic Echo owner like yourselves. Recently, I've been interested in developing for the Echo, but after spending some time investigating, I think the platform needs a few more features before we see the first killer 3rd party skill/app.

I put my notes together here, any thoughts are much appreciated:

It would seem some killer skills etc have come down the pike in the intervening 16 months. Can’t see the link, but  we are all aware of the things that have come to Alexa since then.

While it has a long way to go, it’s getting pretty awesome right now.
