FWIW, I've been using Twilio as a Google Voice replacement. I've yet to create a web interface, but currently texts to my public number get forwarded to my real number. I can text my public number with a password and a desired phone number to forward a text in the opposite direction. Phone calls to my public number get sent to a voicemail, and transcripts + audio files get texted to me. If I wish to initiate a call, I text my password and "call <phone number>" to get a call initiated.

It's been a fun, low-bandwidth interface, and it avoids me using a Google service.

I'd like to build a web interface, and use 2FA in addition to a password to access my extra functionality.
