Desktop sms interface

It would be nice (especially since Fongo SMS is over the internet) if we could access our Fongo app on mobile through a Desktop interface extension much in the same way that apps like Whatsapp or Signal allow you to message with your phone's app as a proxy.

Great idea, but probably not going to happen anytime soon. Best alternative I can give you is to run an Android Emulator on your PC and then install the Fongo app on the emulator. I personally use MEmu, but there are plenty others.

Has anyone tried this? Run into any issues with the fact that your phone and the desktop emulated app would be logged into your account at the same time?
