Hi all,
I built a very simple tool that sends me a text message whenever my app is broken.
It's a much simpler alternative to pager duty.
Just send a "POST" request from anywhere in your code, and it texts your phone.
For example:
axios.post('/text-alert', {
message: 'User image upload is broken. Fix this now!'
})
It's also useful when I want immediate notification of something important, like a user purchasing a 'pro' subscription:
axios.post('/text-alert', {
message: 'Customer just purchased annual plan!!'
})
I'm curious - if I offer this tool as a saas service would you buy it?
Seems way to easy to build myself.
I didnt google it, but I assume there are dozens of services for sms and whatsapp etc out there who are either free or cost the fraction of a cent per message.
