( this post may seems like it’s more related to programming than selfhosting but I wasn’t sure so here we go )

Hello folks,

I made a Temp SMS service using Python. I used flask for serving the API and sms-forwarder app ( https://github.com/GreyTechno/sms_forwarder ) to forward messages from a phone to the server.

there is just two end points one is where you get the home page which displays all the incoming messages and another one is used to get the message sent from the phone. it’s pretty simple actually…

tell me what you think about it :)

Edit: the service is down since someone is DOSing the service… I will quickly try to block them.

    Good question.

    • I am not GreyTechno. I have just used an apk made by them to forward messages to my server.
    • I got it when I went for a tour, I had to get an SIM from there because the SIM I have doesn’t work there. However since I am back home I no longer need that SIM so I thought let’s do some experiments with it.
    • basically to create throwaway accounts like we use temp mails.

      More confusion. How often do you change your username? Few minutes ago it was “whoareu”, now its “kionite231” (eta: I guess it’s lemmy. Your username changes every time I refresh the page between these two)

      Where’s the code or info on pieces of the puzzle that you made and are trying to showcase here?
