Show HN: Relay – SMS API for developers (send your first text in 2 min)

Relay is an SMS API I built because integrating Twilio for a simple verification flow took me an unreasonable amount of time. The API is a single POST endpoint. You sign up, get an API key, and send a real SMS in under 2 minutes.Tech stack: Express.js API, AWS End User Messaging for delivery, PostgreSQL (Supabase), Redis rate limiting.

How do you see this integrating with wider project and issue tracking tools. Most teams already rely heavily on these. Interesting to hear how you see this complimenting already existing project management stacks.

I would add something on the page to explain why the app needs camera access.

Interesting idea and execution. As mentioned above, I imagined a physical robot, not a chatbot, so might need some clarification in future messaging revisions.

Also interested to learn more about how you plan to utilise user data to make the platform smarter.
