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.

    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)
