Hey everyone! I’m excited to share a milestone and get some feedback from the open-source community here.

Last year, I launched textbee.dev, an open-source Android SMS gateway that acts as a twillio alternative for sending and receiving SMS messages directly using your Android phone.

This week, we hit 5,000 users and 1,200+ github stars! 🎉

for those who haven’t heard of it, textbee is an open-source sms-gateway with the following features:

  • Use your android device as an sms-gateway
  • Send SMS messages via API/web dashboard
  • Receive SMS messages
  • Webhook notifications for received sms

It comes with an Android app and web UI, so you’re in full control.

check it out at: textbee.dev

source code: github.com/vernu/textbee

A huge thank you to the open-source community for the support so far. I’d love to hear any feedback or feature ideas!
