Texts.com: powerful inbox for all major messaging apps
Texting is my default method of communication. Same for the hundreds of millions of active users of WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, and so on.

Enjoy the rollercoaster of 2024 everyone!

Sometimes hard decisions can unlock new possibilities. That’s how I feel about resigning from creating new content in Polish language.
