Automated texting using google voice?
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.

Using TextBelt SMS with Elixir
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.

Does SAAS arbitrage even work?
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 ?

Environmental Monitoring Solutions
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.

How I keep myself Alive using Golang
Slightly related, but I've also been working on and off for a few years on my own Type 1 Diabetes management solution (https://github.com/algao1/iv3).
I haven't had time to work on it recently, but it uses ntfy (https://ntfy.sh/) to send alerts and such.
I was thinking of eventually incorporating some kind of automatic remedial solution eventually to help keep my glucose in range, but haven't had any time to look into it yet.

FBI using push notification tokens to identify anonymous users
If you go to the settings, there should be a notification category, which then contains another menu "App Notifications" where you can see all the apps that are allowed to receive notifications, but I don't know if this will stop google play services to receive these identifiers.
I use GrapheneOS, so I don't have any google play services running, but for the apps where I need notifications I use https://unifiedpush.org/ (only a few apps implement it) and I host my own https://ntfy.sh server.

Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
Kind of similar, in the early days of COVID, I accidentally discovered that my state's website would have test results available several hours before they sent out the "view your results" email. So I made a script that would check the site every five or ten minutes and then ping me as soon as the result changed to something besides PENDING.
In the course of that I stumbled on https://ntfy.sh/ which solved the notification problem without needing Twitter, and I've used it since then to let me know when long-running scripts complete.

Governments spying on Apple, Google users through push notifications
I connect any app that supports https://unifiedpush.org/ to a self hosted https://ntfy.sh instance for fully self hosted push notifications

2U Quiet & Efficient DIY Server Build
For further monitoring & alerting about critical cpu temperatures (unlikely now) for example, I plan to use notify & something else. Haven't thought about this much yet though.
