Ask HN: What do you wish had SMS alerts for?
Today I found myself really wishing I had SMS alerts for certain GetClicky features(worse aesthetic design, but better UX than Google Analytics). And now I actually think I might build a tool that will let anyone get an SMS alert if someone lands on a certain page (say their Kickstarter page for example).
But after thinking a bit, I realized I would really like SMS alerts for a lot of things since my iPhone texts are the only things I check every time I get a notification (i.e. I ignore email notifications etc).
Am I the only one? Or do many people wish they had SMS alerts for a lot of things (such as comments on HN threads)? Or would making SMS alerts ubiquitous, just make them as equally not-useful as an email notification?
- teljamou 15y ago- Forex changes - Important emails - Important tweets (twitter SMS does not work in many countries) - Important RSS feeds - Google News alerts on certain keywords - Security alerts e.g. when someone hacks into some of my accounts - Stocks alerts - Important reminders from iCal, configurable not all like google cal Would be cool to have a basic SMS altert app that can connect to many web services. You can build a demo with Nexmo.com, the wholesale SMS API with gobal reach and direct to carrier model. (disclaimer: I work for Nexmo)
