Sending Text Messages with Red and Twilio

Red is a next-gen programming language inspired by REBOL. It's an imperative and functional language that allows for cross-compiling GUI applications into stand-alone executables about 1 MB in size, making it suitable for developing portable applications. The goal of this project was to build a simple GUI application that sends text messages using Twilio, which is achieved through the use of Red's built-in features and its ability to make POST requests to Twilio's API. The code is written in a concise manner, with most functionality implemented in just 50 lines of code or less. The development process involves installing the Red toolchain, setting up a Twilio account, creating a new project, and writing the application code in a text file named `twilio-sms.red`. The application can be built for different operating systems by changing the target flag during compilation.
