I’m currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I’m currently out of ideas, so I’d like to heard if from you guys.

Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

      The web app version requires you to install the nonfree app. This is circular logic.

          Yeah and not just once. Iirc if their proprietary, closed-source app doesnt call home to their mother ship at least every 2 weeks, then all your WhatsApp Web sessions get deauth’d.

          We really need a way to use WhatsApp without using the original spyware app.

          • Well even if someone creates it, it will still act like a web session. It will just be a frontend. You can’t create a separate app with authentication and everything because it’s proprietary (so you can’t see how authentication works) and messages are E2EE

              Of course you can. Its just more difficult.

                  Not at all impossible. Just a bit more difficult.

                  We have alt frontends for reddit and YouTube and loads of other platforms whose main apps suck
