Now that I think about it, I think that if the InTheClear SMS support works at all, then it would be good to have as a SMS sender on the "receiver" side of the panic interaction. Amnesty PanicButton sends the panic trigger, i.e. it is the app with the button that triggers the panic actions. It also includes the SMS sending. But if someone wants to have an SMS message sent while using a panic trigger app other than Amnesty PanicButton, then they'll need an app that receives the panic trigger, and sends the SMS. But perhaps it still makes sense to split out SMS from InTheClear, and just take that code to make a standalone SMS location message sending app. .hc -- PGP fingerprint: 5E61 C878 0F86 295C E17D 8677 9F0F E587 374B BE81 https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x9F0FE587374BBE81 _______________________________________________ List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To unsubscribe, email: [email protected]
