Whatslectron: Whatsapp Web with Electron.
-
Hello everyone.
These days Whatsapp seems to have made a major update of its "Whatsapp Web".
This has positive and negative implications:
*Positive: calls are now available in Whatsapp web (you may need to join beta to have it)
*Negative: Whatsweb seems broken, it takes a lot of CPU and crashes, it seems inherent to Chromium 87 we'll see if it gets corrected.In the meantime I have published an application that allows to use Whatsapp web in a newer web engine through an Electron application. This will hopefully allow to enable calls.

Here are the current features:
- Responsive interface
- Notifications when keeping the app open
- Import / Export files via ContentHub
- Sending audio messages
- Audio calls need to be tested
As this is early version there will probably be some small bugs. (Always try to restart or retry in case of a bug ). The application should benefit a lot from upgrade to Mir2.x when it happens.
Do not hesitate to post some feedback.
