Request Feature
This project serves as the client application for the MessageBox project. MessageBox allows you to easily send messages to friends or loved ones with a simple and easy to use interface. The messages are sent to the MessageBox hardware, and the user on the other end is notified of the new message. After opening the box and reading the message, the box clears it's screen and listens for more messages. This provides a clean interface to send personal messages to someone at work or home, without distracting the recipient or requiring them to use any complex technology.
