Hey there ! Hope you are safe and enjoying the lockdown period wherever you are.

I always wanted to create a blog, but Wordpress although easy, restricted me to change the things i wanted to. I wanted more control, So i tried Gatsby.

Here is a link to the blog : https://myblog.ashishkumarsinghh.now.sh/

I am looking for suggestions and improvements. Your suggestions will be helpful to you and the community both as the code will be on Github and anyone can start from there, You will not have to waste time doing the trivial stuff.

msgco

A customizable and extensible messaging system.

Use Case

Suppose you have a critical task running on your server, and you want to be notified when it completes or there is an error. You just have to make a POST request with the below specified payload and a message will be sent to the numbers you specify as parameter and text you specify as parameter with the POST request.

You don't need to signup on any messaging service, don't have to setup anything, just a simple POST request.

Application flow

Register for the API. (not implemented)
Send POST request with numbers Array, and message body.
msgco service sends SMS to all the numbers provided.

API Endpoint

https://msgco.herokuapp.com/critical/api

Expected Payload for POST request at endpoint

{to : "number, number", body: "message body"}

How to Run it ?

git clone git@github.com:ashishkumarsinghh/msgco.git
cd msgco
yarn or npm install
yarn start or npm start

Github Repo

https://github.com/ashishkumarsinghh/msgco

Limitations

Currently because of Twilio Trial account the messages can be sent only to my number as it is verified.
If you want to send msgs, you have to set the following parameters in Zeit/Heroku/Local production environment.
- TWILIO_SID (you can get it from Twilio Console)
- TWILIO_TOKEN(you can get it from Twilio Console)
- TWILIO_NUM(you can get it from Twilio Console)
- MYNUM(This is your verified number with Twilio)
