Whatsapp Chat from CLI Using Puppeteer

GoogleChrome puppeteer is interesting project to create browser automation tools, testing tools or web scrapping. I was wondering to use it for something useful and an idea popped in about creating CLI application that can be used to send and receive messages on Whatsapp. So I went on to creating Whatspup, a name based on both Whatsapp and puppeteer.

Features

• Send and receive messages
• Read Receipts
• Switch between users to chat with
• Popup notifications for new chat messages
• Privacy settings for popup notifications
• One-time authentication, no need to scan QR code again and again
• Windowless/headless (hidden) mode
• Colorful chat messages

Head over to Whatspup repository and start using it :)
