Show HN: I made an app to automate some of my texting because I’m bad at it

My girlfriend likes little text messages here and there, and I’m not good at sending them. So “there’s an app for that,” right? No, there actually wasn’t. So I made one.
I define the app as a smart device automation tool for SMS text messages, calls and email that’ll help you stay in touch.
The story on how the app got started, my eureka moments, repeated failures and a little technical detail is at https://medium.com/@mtc.dev/my-first-android-app-story-331c9....
I’d love some feedback.
Cheers.
Sadly, I mostly use WhatsApp — does it work with it or is it planned?
Also, the UX is a bit too hacker-y for my liking but the overall concept is great.
I chose to support SMS text messages initially because the functionality is built into the device and the app can make better decisions based on SMS text messaging history. I plan to review support for WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and friends in the future.
As for the UX, I concur; more work needs to be done here. I see the app UX as more of a utilitarian/set it and forget it and kind of thing with little interaction with the app itself once it’s configured, but point taken.
