I built something very very similar at Whispe.rs except it took me a bit longer than 2 hours :P

I built it first using Twilio but didn't think the ad revenue would pay for the messages so I switched it to using SMS-email gateways.

Great job! What did you use for the captcha?

The captcha is just using Google's Recaptcha service. Yeah, I don't think the ad revenue will pay for the cost, but I set myself a challenge and managed to get something working quickly.

It's built using Aurelia for the client-side and Node.js for the backend using Restify to create a quick REST API for handling the requests.
