Also take a look at rambox[1] which is partly open source. However they are all just webframes to the services.
For a true gateway look at https://matrix.org https://matrix.org which has a whatsapp and telegram bridge in addition many others.

- edhelas 8y agoMost of the Matrix gateways are relying on …libpurple that is the base library of Pidgin :)
- Arathorn 8y agothis isn't true, fwiw - there are about 30 matrix bridges, and only one of them (matrix-bifrost) uses libpurple, and only then as a fallback if there isn't a better stack available. Edit: For instance, one of the best telegram bridges for Matrix is https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-telegram https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-telegram, which uses the 'telethon' Py3 library to connect to telegram. Conversely, https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp is one of the best whatsapp bridges, which uses the go-whatsapp Go whatsapp library to connect. Libpurple is very much the last ditch resort where everything else has failed.
- edhelas 8y agoOh I spoke too fast. Thanks for the rectification then :) My bad.
- BuildTheRobots 8y agoRambox have really annoyed me; they were promising spell checking since day 1 (which seems like an obvious feature in a chat product), strung people along and then created a premium, paid for version which implemented it. Franz are also locking spell checking behind their premium product, which really does rub me up the wrong way. Charging people £35/year for a feature you get free with the open source framework you're using, seems wrong.
