This is just a wrapper for web clients of the "protocols" they support. So WhatsApp is web.whatsapp.com in a tab, Skype is web.skype.com, etc.

- magazinelala 10y agoWay to undermine the hard work of talented developers. Is that envy? You should see all the features its offer before calling it just a "wrapper".
- manmal 10y agoIt IS a wrapper around the web version. To be fair, the web version is very solid. It even warns you when your phone's battery is running low.
- 59nadir 10y agoI think you're reading a bit too much into his comment. It's true that the phrasing can seem dismissive, but I don't think it's meant as such to that extreme of a degree. It being a collection of wrappers is either true or not and is not necessarily a value judgment, but a technical detail.

- joshschreuder 10y agoIt appears as though WhatsApp desktop is basically a wrapper on web.whatsapp.com as well.
- lucb1e 10y agoI assumed as much, and yet still no Linux version. I don't use WhatsApp anyway but it's still disappointing.
