Landing page

I do not have a large twitter following but I did get some great feedback on r/sideproject (https://www.reddit.com/r/SideProject/comments/hwjjmw/i_made_smallsmsapp_send_sms_with_a_clean_simple/)

Indiehackers didn't result in much traction but I do appreciate the upvote for those that did.

If you like the concept check it out! I'm doing a manual referral program that will get you 50 free texts for each customer you refer. Reach out to support@smallsms.app if you're interesting.

You can check out the app here: https://smallsms.app
