Run any command and get an SMS message of it's exit code when it's done

In plain words

This development tool allows users to execute any command and receive an SMS notification with the exit code upon completion. Launched in 2016, it integrates command-line operations with SMS messaging, making it useful for developers who need to monitor long-running processes without actively watching them. The tool bridges the gap between command execution and remote notifications.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
