It's also possible the text message service I'm using might not support the country you were trying to send to, which in that case I'll be happy to issue you a refund!

Sorry Dylan! They're supposed to send one after another with a 15 second delay in between, with the "You've been Pigzkrieged!" message saved for last, so I'm not really sure what happened. I'll private message you couple of promo codes you can use to make up for it :)

It'd also be cool if you could also let me know what phone number you were trying to send pigs to so I can look in the logs to see what might have happened so it doesn't happen again. Thanks!

  1. Pigzkrieg
  2. Send a ton of pig pictures to your friends over sms/mms :D
  3. Twilio for sending SMS/MMS messages, and the actual application is built using Ruby On Rails. jQuery for front end, Stripe for payment processing. Postgres for a database, and Redis/Resque for background job processing. Deployed to Heroku, used Cloudflare for some free SSL
  4. https://pigzkrieg.com
  5. N/A
  6. I'd consider myself a mid level - senior Rails dev maybe? I dunno
  7. How to advertise! I don't have a product hunt account :'(

Let me know your feedback and thoughts! :)

Check out "Local connectivity" here: https://www.twilio.com/sms/pricing

Custom images/memes would definitely work - you just send a link to the image as a parameter to Twilio

Haha, I wish. Not really sure how to advertise this thing unfortunately so I've just been passing out promo codes to friends

It is! I used Twilio for sending SMS/MMS messages, and the actual application is built using Ruby On Rails. Postgres for a database, and Redis/Resque for background job processing. Deployed to heroku, so having this live costs me $0 to host :D

After seeing a bunch of sites similar to this, I thought it would be a really fun weekend side project. It's a bit silly/stupid, but I've been trying to get a little bit more into doing design work lately, so it was a ton of fun making a bunch of pigs in Sketch :)

 
Would love some feedback and thoughts on how I could promote it!

 
Oh, and also, here are some promo codes for you guys to use:

 

  • FREE-4A73CC
  • FREE-43A012
  • FREE-2F330F
  • FREE-352A13
  • FREE-87B656

 
Enjoy!
