Note that before this tool will work, you will need a Twilio project. You will also need the numbers setup to send and receive SMS text messages.

• Clone the repo.
• cd into repo
• Modify the info in main.go to add your Twilio number, and existing contacts if desired.
• In the backend.go file add paths to a file containing your Twilio Account ID and a file containing your account Auth token string. Both are found on the Twilio project dashboard.
• Run the following command to install:

  go install

Keybindings

• 'k' for up in contact menu.
• 'j' for down in contact menu.
• 'ENTR' to send message to selected contact.
• 'r' to reload messages for all contacts (may seem unresponsive for a couple seconds)
