Chris Contacter

For those times when manually sending Hangouts chats, emails and texts simply gets too tedious...

Chris Contacter will attempt to send a message via email, then will send a text. It will wait an hour between each service, and stop when it receives a response.

This is meant to be run locally, and is not production-ready; hence unforgivable things like running Postgres in Docker, and Celery with DEBUG = True. If you ask nicely, Alex will let you use his very special 707-CHRIS-GO Twilio SMS number :)
