Looks good.

How does it work? What tool is being used to send the text message? And why text message over email or other online notification?

It's just twilio for texts plus django and a cronjob. Text messages are the use case I wanted most for myself, so I just did that first. I'll add email/twitter/etc if the simple version gets a good enough response to warrant it

Yeah, email would be cool for a lot of international "customers" as text messaging doesn't work in a bunch of European countries with twilio.
