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.

Signal I suppose would be the closest analog

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.

I see, fair enough. I don’t know if you’ll have any luck with a FOSS third party client which does t violate their TOS. There was something on fdroid years ago, a wrapper that effectively allowed you to use WhatsApp Web on another phone (or perhaps even the same one), but it ultimately requried the use of the official clients

If you use one of those WhatsApp web apps, you still have to use the closed source app. It doesn’t solve the problem
