I recently shared this. Looks like we're quite similar, but still a little different :)

I'm not sure how large the background file is but it took a few seconds to load. That may be a visual effect you're going after but I'd think you could compress the image a bit more. Just a heads up.

Thanks. Sometimes I miss that kind of stuff because the image is cached on my compu. I'll fix that in the next release.

This is a neat idea. Why would i use this vs. Twilio? Just curious.

Thanks.

To use something like Twilio, you'd have to pay. It's not immediately apparent, but this operates entirely for free, using the 'email to SMS' bridge that all major carriers already have. At some point I'll open-source it, but essentially, it just replies to emails using SMTP.
