Never Forget A Friend’s Birthday with Python, Flask and Twilio
Blog post from Twilio
This project utilizes Python, Flask, and Twilio's Programmable SMS service API to create a simple birthday app that sends reminders via phone number. The app uses Facebook's birthday calendar export feature and SQLite database to store birthdays, with the ability to add custom phone numbers for friends. A daily cron script checks for active birthdays and sends SMS notifications to an admin phone number, while also allowing users to send birthday messages or cards via SMS or MMS. The project demonstrates Flask-SQLAlchemy integration, Twilio API usage, and image processing with Pillow, showcasing a practical application of programming skills.
