[feature] Standalone REST API

[kriegfrj]

Thank you for this interesting and potentially valuable project!

It is not 100% clear to me what the architecture of this project is, but it seems to me that there is a public website that hosts the API, and all of the SMS flow is from the client through this website, back to the Android device to perform the actual SMS sending.

I am wondering if there is a reason that the API server couldn't be hosted on the Android device itself, therefore removing the need to involve the third party API server?

@kriegfrj what do you mean by "couldn't be hosted on the Android device itself"?

the API is responsible for handling your requests from the web dashboard or your other apps through REST API, how else can the messages be requested to be sent without the API in the middle?

@vernu thank you for your response.

I understand the need for the API - I guess what I mean is: couldn't the API server run on the Android device too?
