Constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated! I'm relatively new to website development and put this together in a couple of days.

For an example usage, I used it to alert me when a slow program for finding prime numbers had finished.

Interesting concept, but an unauthenticated SMS gateway might not be a good idea. I hope there is throttling and other means of abuse prevention in place.

Do you think a simple "stop sending me messages" would be enough for abuse prevention?

Is the source code for this available somewhere? I'm curious about how exactly you're sending the text messages, and I can't really tell anything from a quick glance at the binaries included in the zip.

I'm using Twilio and a simple API I wrote for formatting the messages, both of which are connected to TermAlert.me.
