Description

Description

When the app tries to send an SMS message, we would like a new tab in the browser to display it in development environments. Similar to Letter Opener and emails.

We have found 2 repositories that may do this but they are a little old.
https://github.com/cobyrne/text_opener
https://github.com/abhisheksarka/notifications_opener

Try installing these first and testing them.
If they don't work maybe you can use sections of code from the repositories and add them to casa to implement this feature.

Research direction

Start by installing and testing the referenced text_opener and notifications_opener repositories in a development environment, then inspect how the existing SMS sending flow can use their relevant behavior. Done means an SMS sent during development opens in a new browser tab, similar to Letter Opener; verify the behavior in the Casa application.
