Under Firefox, your custom fonts aren't working. FontAwesome is just giving weird symbols (http://imgur.com/SLN8N5e)

You need to set the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header to get them to work in Firefox. More info at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTTP/Access_control...

Is there something special about this page that you've done to it that I'm not seeing or is this really just a coupon for the hackernews audience?

Looks like the link above is to /hn which then redirects to /login.

Maybe I'm missing something... if Twilio's going rate is $0.01/message, wouldn't it make better financial sense to sit down and just build this yourself? It's not like it requires a bunch of infrastructure...

This has been a bit eye-opening for me. I coded almost this exact feature last week for a project; never made the connection that this sort of thing is business-able.
