Features
Things that work.
- Allows sending and receiving WhatsApp messages in a command line app
- Connects through the Web App API without browser
- Uses QR code for simple setup
- Binaries for Windows, Mac, Linux and RaspBerry Pi
Caveats
This is a WIP. Heres some things you might expect to work that don't. Plus some other things I should mention.
- Only shows existing chats
- Only fetches a few old messages
- Names have to be entered with the
/nameor/addnamecommands - No support for images, videos, documents etc.
- No incoming message notification / count
- No proper connection drop handling
- Not configurable at all
- Leaves its config files in your home folder
- FaceBook obviously doesn't endorse or like these kinds of apps and they're likely to break when FaceBook changes stuff in their web app
Installation / Usage
How to get it running and how to use it
- Download a release
- Put the binary in your PATH (optional)
- Run with
whatscli(or double-click) - Scan the QR code with WhatsApp on your phone (maybe resize shell)
