TextBelt VS ZeroNet

I doubt you'll find a free SMS texter. Textbelt seems to be low-hassle and open-source. There's an option for standing up your own server to make it "free". I'd look into email options as well. It looks like most carriers support some kind of email-to-text path.

I use paid service textbelt.com (also www.twilio.com is there), they have standard plugin for many languages.

# Path: lib/sms_demo/sms_handler.ex defmodule SmsDemo.SmsHandler do use GenServer def send_message(to_phone, message) do GenServer.cast(SmsDemo.SmsHandler, {:send, {to_phone, message}}) end def receive_message(from_phone, message) do GenServer.cast(SmsDemo.SmsHandler, {:receive, {from_phone, message}}) end def start_link(_) do GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, [], name: __MODULE__) end def init([]) do {:ok, %{}} end def handle_cast({:send, {phone, message}}, state) do textbelt_url = "https://textbelt.com/text" textbelt_key = Application.get_env(:sms_demo, :textbelt_key) replyWebhookUrl = Application.get_env(:sms_demo, :webhook_url) params = %{ phone: phone, message: message, key: textbelt_key, replyWebhookUrl: replyWebhookUrl } HTTPoison.post(textbelt_url, Poison.encode!(params), [{"Content-type", "application/json"}]) {:noreply, state} end def handle_cast({:receive, {phone, message}}, state) do # TODO: Do something with the message {:noreply, state} end end

I was recently introduced to the SMS service TextBelt which is a pre-pay and simplified service to provide the ability to send and receive SMS messages from code.

I was looking into some side project ideas and stumbled upon one called textbelt where the guy uses something like twilio in the backend and sell 10x per SMS. It is kinda arbitrage for SaaS products. This guy is legit and also has 5 to 10K $ per month stripe verified indiehackers project. More over he doesn’t even promote his product and moved on. Yet this is so popular enough to bring in 5k a month. Do you guys think its possible to reinvent something like this and promote to make a worthwhile side project ?

You can look into this: https://github.com/typpo/textbelt

Can your monitoring system run shell scripts and curl in response to events? If so you could use a service like Textbelt to send SMS messages from it.

ZernoNet project: GitHub - HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet: ZeroNet - Decentralized websites using Bitcoin crypto and BitTorrent network

our views on the project are incompatible. i consider it harmful to the community to: - advertise fork as official continuation (the worst parts of this were eventually removed, but the project's website still completely mimics official and there's no indication it's a fork anywhere - ship binaries presumably made out of builds made by disappeared nofish - copypaste changes without attribution

Sure! Here are the domain links to the decentralized alternatives I mentioned: 1 Steemit: https://steemit.com/ 2 Mastodon: https://joinmastodon.org/ 3 Scuttlebutt: https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/ 4 ZeroNet: https://zeronet.io/ 5 Aether: https://getaether.net/ Please note that these links are current as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, and there's a possibility that the domains or availability may have changed since then.

so this anonymous person who've been trolling on github issues and editing wikipedia to mislead people there's no up-to-date forks has now published their fork that violates GPL and authors' right to attribution by deleting git history and replacing all contributors (including founder @nofish) with one "(c) ZeroNet" notice (which is meaningless in its own right 'cause there was never legal entity that owned the code by multiple contributors)

https://zeronet.io/ (https://zeronet.io/) is 100% censorship proof. How come? Cause it is not centralized, It is 100% decentralized

Nothing can be censored here. Nothing. https://zeronet.io. read that again. Nothing can be censored because it is 100% decentralized, that is the opposite of centralized power.

Things like that can't happen on decentralized social media like https://zeronet.io/

P.S - There's more networks than just Tor, if you're still interested perhaps you should check them out: https://geti2p.net/en/ https://freenetproject.org/ https://zeronet.io/ https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ https://lokinet.org/ r/i2p r/freenet r/zeronet r/yggdrasil r/oxen_io

If Elon really valued free speech, he would have invested his billions into developing https://zeronet.io/ to make it popular and very user friendly. 😉
