I built console.text() - SMS alerts for your production code

#tooling #monitoring #showdev #node

The Problem

Ever deployed to production and anxiously refreshed dashboards wondering if critical code paths are executing? Or worse, found out hours later that payment processing silently failed?

Sure, you could set up Sentry, PagerDuty, or DataDog... but that means:

❌ Hours of configuration
❌ Learning another dashboard
❌ Context-switching to check alerts
❌ Expensive monthly subscriptions

I built console.text() to solve this differently - one line of code, instant SMS alerts.

How it works

//Install the SDK:
  npm install @holler2660/console-text

//Initialize in your app:
  const { init } = require("@holler2660/console-text");

// Now anywhere in your code:
  console.text('Payment processed', { amount: 1000, userId: '123' });

PLEASSEEEE someone Help Me Validate This!

I'm actively looking for developers to test this out. Here's what you get:

50 free messages to try it out
10 (unique)messages per 5-min window

I need to know:

Does this solve a real problem for you?
Would you use this in production?
What features are missing?
What would you pay for this?

The Origin Story

This idea came from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs29i2TR7AE , by Jason Goodison about building micro-SaaS products. This is my first real project. I have no idea if developers would actually pay for this. Your feedback will literally determine if this becomes a real product or gets shelved.

Be brutally honest!
