The Problem

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

Typical solutions like Sentry, PagerDuty, or DataDog involve:

  • Hours of configuration
  • Learning another dashboard
  • Context‑switching to check alerts
  • Expensive monthly subscriptions

console.text() provides a simpler alternative: one line of code, instant SMS alerts.

Installation

npm install @holler2660/console-text

Usage

// Initialize the SDK
const { init } = require("@holler2660/console-text");

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

Sign up

Start testing at:

  • 50 free messages to try it out
  • 10 unique messages per 5‑minute window

Feedback

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

Your honest feedback will determine whether this becomes a real product.
