@tijder Are you open to being paid to update this app and fix a few bugs? #89

I have clients who have moved overseas but still need access to US SMS messages, especially short codes. Your app works reliably about 80% of the time. We have configured it to be restarted on rooted devices that they leave in the US to receive SMS messages. However, occasionally, there are problems and the app stops working or there are longer delays.

I was wondering if you had the time or desire to work on this and update the app to a more current version in return for being paid to do so. Do you have the bandwidth for that at this time? I looked for other ways to contact you without success.

Thank you.

I like hearing the app is being used.

I think it would be fun to improve this app. However, I don't know if I have the time for it. I have several other projects and a fulltime job.

The app is already quite old. It would be wise then to make the app future-proof by updating to the new matrix-rust-sdk and Jetpack Compose. To get the notifications reliable, think something like https://unifiedpush.org/ is needed. Now the app keeps running in the background.

If you change your mind and find some free time, I would still be interested because I think there is a legit need for this for lots of people. I will give you one good example - getting MFA SMS from banks, etc, when traveling overseas.

I've just started using your project, I'm not really an android dev but I might look into it! And UnifiedPush integration would be a nice improvement

I'd love a stable matrix sms bridge/bot, and the other options are unusable imo : Android SMS for mautrix-imessage is basically unmaintained too and needs (will always need) to be manually compiled, mautrix-gmessages is only for google messages, matrix-sms-bridge is only for "stationary" phone...

So that would be great if I can help maintain this project

Not affiliated, but e.g. https://jmp.chat gives you a native SMS<->xmpp client interface which you might find useful.
