Why is this a thing?

Its surprisingly hard to send yourself a text message from your app or website. You have to use a third party service like Twilio or MessageBird and jump through hoops and verifications to get it working. This is a pain in the ass. All you want to do is send yourself a text message via code. So we built SelfPing to make it easy. Just sign up and start sending yourself text messages from your app or website.
