It makes a bit of money but not enough to quit a day job. Writing it was super simple. Both Braintree and Twilio have excellent NuGet packages for managing both APIs. I've used Twilio with node as well and same thing, very easy to use module on npm for dealing with their API. If you're thinking about doing something with Twilio stop thinking about it and just go do it. You can send yourself a text message in literally 2 lines of javascript using their npm module, 3 if you include a callback (https://gist.github.com/bcruddy/2a5bb8ac0ee538519a45fc2b3925..., got it down to 2 with a callback).

Thanks for the info, much appreciated! I did the Codecademy Twilio tutorial ages ago and wanted to try it again recently but it appears to be down unfortunately.

I'll have to give it another go and it looks like they have a Ruby gem up on their repo I'll dig into.
