Would you pay for this? Simple text alerts for solopreneurs.

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.
