What Hacker News says
7 sourcesWe just wish https://github.com/tulir/whatsmeow didn't ban devs from using it. WhatsApp started off great and can be great again.
In Meta replaces WhatsApp for Windows with web wrapperYou don't have to use whatsapp api for business if all you want is simple automation.
Like, there is beeper which can theoretically allow you the same but you might have to trust their cloud but they are giving options locally too
in the meanwhile, you can use what beeper uses underneath its hood which is https://github.com/tulir/whatsmeow and use this for automation.
I used this for some time and I didn't seem to get banned but do be careful. Maybe use it on a side sim. I am not sure but just trying to help
