No, I'm not looking for an alternative. I'm looking for an open source client that let's me talk to folks on WhatsApp.
ah, hopefully with the Digital Markets Act in the EU, reliable bridging to Matrix with E2EE intact will come quickly. You can already bridge (e.g. I run mautrix-whatsapp), but its not in an ideal state
Even with a matrix bridge, you still have to run WhatsApp -- the official closed source client. It doesn't solve that problem
I want a way to not have to run closed source software to communicate with users on WhatsApp
Yup, that's what DMA should solve (edit: or, rather, will solve, when Whatsapp fully complies with it)
