TextraWeb (web interface for Textra)

Basically, something very close to WhatsApp Web; a web interface that locally (not cloud based) connects to the phone and allows messaging & interaction from a browser UI.

Right now, there is a very small subset of services that do "online texting" - MightyText and Pushbullet are the major two players. DeskSMS used to be popular, but isn't supported by the developer and has largely been removed from the Play Store. Today, MightyText put a nail in their own coffin by limiting free accounts to 500 messages per month, which will make most serious free-tier users leave or look elsewhere.

In my opinion, Textra is the premiere SMS application. I find it to be the best texting application that I have ever used. It has wonderful features, wonderful design, and was clearly built with love and thought. I would love to see the application become even more accessible with a web UI :)

I am a web developer by profession and I spend most of my day messaging. I would love to help build something like this, if you guys are ever looking for a developer to help out (for free) I would be more than glad to chat.

Thank you to all of the developers and team members who make Textra such a great experience.

    Would love this or a desktop-based app as well. Would be amazing to just reply when the phone's still in my bad or the like with out needing to use something like Pushbullet (which has it's own set of downsides and upsides).

    I completely agree! Textra is such an amazing app for my phone, but when I am at work, it is much more streamlined for me to use MightyText on the computer. However, MightyText has the limitations mentioned above, as well as the fact that it does not always sync well with Textra, causing confusion when I have sent a message from the computer that is received but never shows up on my phone (or viceversa). A web interface to compliment the phone app would be amazing!

    Thanks for Textra--seriously the best messaging service I have ever used!!!
