Inspiration
The inspiration behind this came from my birthday party last year, where I spent an overwhelming amount of time copy pasting an invitation to a number of individuals. I realized that there has to be a way to automate this and I decided to tackle it during this hackathon.
What it does
It takes in a message and a list of phone numbers, and directly sends that message to every phone number individually without creating a group chat.
How I built it
Swift, xCode, and trial-and-error
Challenges we ran into
Reading in the data from the text boxes and using that to transfer a message was the most difficult and time consuming part.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Being able to send the message without having ht pay for a 3rd party API.
What I learned
There are many ways to accomplish this without using a 3rd Party API, and there are a lot of little things that can be added to it.
What's next for Solo Sender
Import contacts so you don't have to type in numbers. It's more efficient to just be able to select contacts.
