  Hey HN! I built console.text() - a tool that texts you when specific code paths execute in production.

  The idea came from Jason Goodison's YouTube video about micro-SaaS products. I'd been stuck in tutorial hell for months, so I decided to just ship something.

  What it does:

    npm install @holler2660/console-text

    const { init } =  require("@holler2660/console-text");
    init({ apiKey: 'ct_live_xxx' });

    console.text('Payment failed', { userId: '123' });
    // → SMS arrives in 5-10 seconds

  Try it: https://soorajdmg.github.io/Console-text/

  Why this vs Sentry/PagerDuty?

  Those are great for teams. This is for solo devs and side projects who want dead-simple alerts without the setup overhead. If you know console.log(), you already know how to use it.
