Open-sourced my capacitor plugin for reading SMS for inbox!

Ever since I used the walnut money app, I had been looking to make a clone of it.

The main blocker for me?

The only mobile framework I knew ( Ionic 5 ) didn't have a community created plugin to read SMS from the inbox.

And I had no experience in native android development to go around doing this myself.

After procrastinating on this for about 3 months or so - I decided to write my own plugin.

It took me about an hour to get this up and working - the API is minimal but would work for my use case.

Feel free to check it out and give feedback

Would also love it if you guys can raise a PR around this.
