I was under the impression that WhatsApp pretty aggressively bans accounts using third party clients. How did you get around this? Or is it not an issue afterall?
Seems like they're running a chrome process controlled via the automation APIs.

#22Signal does a great job of filling the void but if they fail or are blocked by a country or community, the application interface itself is not a protocol to which people could easily pivot. Standing up a viable and federated Signal server is not easy, though I know Session is working on it.
I’m hoping that Riot’s upcoming rebrand will mark the start of this transition. We need centralized efforts to spread usage of matrix, or a similarly accessible protocol, while also making it easy for people to create or maintain their own personal connection to that network.

not exactly, we're using a library that reverse engineered the Whatsapp Web api: https://github.com/Rhymen/go-whatsapp . I haven't had any problems with the API and I've been using it for a year straight.

Seems like your cloudflare got hugged a few hugs too many.
Re: NovaChat: Multi-Network Chat
#262 things. 1) much better name for a matrix client than the others, Nova sounds cool. 2) $10/month is more than Disney+ per month. Could there be the option to accept a $5/month for desktop only and a separate $5/month for mobile? Then a combined $10/month for both? Massive kudos on it looking good (even if electron) and doing Matrix stuff nicely. I will be watching this closely, especially when Signal is ready to go.

#27Have looked for a replacement for Adium for quite a while and Nova Chat is looking like it will be it. So much relief from not having to juggle multiple desktop chat clients and mobile notifications.
Looking forward to the upcoming features! App is getting some nice updates every few weeks.
Re: NovaChat: Multi-Network Chat
#28This is exactly the functionality I want from a chat client, and have been unable to find. But it’s Electron. Pass. (Unless I find time to go figure out if it can be used with other Matrix clients…)
(I made this) It works with any matrix client. But the UI naturally is not as nice. I use it daily with RiotX on Android and it works fine.
>NovaChat is not a browser/Chromium solution that opens many tabs to different chat networks like Franz, Shift or Station

#29I'm not sure why this is needed...looks to me like a solution in search of a problem.
