Description
I have a bad memory and can't memorize some important numbers, so I created this project.I've always been concerned about being without my phone (getting robbed - which is common in Brazil - running out of battery, having it break, etc.), so I decided to create a page that sends SMS messages (LLM-summarized) and emails with more detailed information such as geolocation, IP address, and the full message.It’s a simple page that allows sending one or more messages, with recipients being myself and other people - for example, in case I or they need help or need to communicate something important.The source code is available at https://github.com/skhaz/dokku/tree/main/apps/help

Could you build this?
Yes It is a simple web form that calls a transactional SMS provider like Twilio or an LLM API to format and send emergency alerts.
