Notes from SMS Messages

Overview

Hands-free note taking tool.

Intended use: Save twilio number into your phone, and the use something like "Hey Siri" to send a text to that saved contact. Those notes are stored online, either in a DB, cloud doc, etc.

Config

Works with Twilio account to receive sms messages and push them into MongoDB.

Messages can be viewed / deleted by appending the number you send them from in to the url (/sms/+##########).

Create a Twilio account with some credits, register a number, and set the messaging webhook to /api/addnote

Create a mongoDB server insance with mlab or other provider.

Built on Node 7.7.4. npm install should get it running. Defaults to port 4000.

Created in response to the idea from Tiago Forte (@fortelabs) for hands-free note taking during audio books.
