I am about to clone the WhatsApp app. 😋🤗

Using
HTML/css/js/nodejs

WhatsApp: You want to get sued you say?

Pro tip: don't

@F1973 like?

@theabbie lol

I love to practice

@Bybit260 what are you talking about?

@F1973 this project is only a training project for me.

I have no plan on it yet😁

@F1973 how can I get in touch with you out from devrant?

Lot of friends called “Angular”.

@Cyanide no it's just a template that I hard coded

@Cyanide here is a functional one

@Afrographics r/whoosh

Next up: TikTok clone because it’s gonna be banned soon

Does it use the WhatsApp protocol, as in can I use that app instead of the web app ?

@dder I am only working on the webapp for now

Yes I understand that, but can it connect to the actual WhatsApp servers ?

@dder no no. My server is localhost for now

@F1973 but I don't remember about it. In which platform was it?

@F1973 it was probably a dude with my username. I don't know that platform

A lot of people have tried this. If you check GitHub there was a repo where someone had to shut it down after he started recieving threats. So stay cautious.

@epictern I am using their code base?

It's my code base. So why are they threatening people?

@Afrographics cause they managed to successfully build the code. Idk man it's just weird these big companies can't handle competition or something. Anyway I hope you are successful!

@epictern group&private messaging is already working😊

@Afrographics wow congrats! Planning to open source it?

That sounds like an interesting project! Cloning WhatsApp with HTML, CSS, JS, and Node.js will definitely be a challenge, especially when it comes to real-time messaging and handling WebSockets. Are you planning to use something like Socket.io for communication?

That’s an ambitious project you’re working on—cloning WhatsApp using HTML, CSS, JS, and Node.js! I’ve seen a lot of similar app clones, and it’s awesome how far you can take it with web technologies. But as you dive into this, don’t forget about some of the quirks the app has, especially with security and privacy features. If you're planning to roll out a fully functional app, make sure you’re considering things like end-to-end encryption, which is crucial. If you ever get stuck on any related functionality, I recommend checking out some of the common WhatsApp questions answered for insight https://help-center.pissedconsumer.com/... It can save you some trial and error as you build! Anyone here worked on a similar clone project?
