Hi, I wrote a WhatsApp client "WhosThere" for Ubuntu phone (and Ubuntu).
[Intro] It's implemented in C++/QML/Javascript communicating with it's backend yowsup (open-source WhatsApp library for N9) via dbus. Current version is very alpha. What works: - Registering a mobile number with the Whatsapp service - Sending and Receiving Messages (no images, group chat or other fancy stuff). - Delivery notifications - Credentials and Messages are saved/loaded to LocalStorage. - Demo mode that you can try without registering (but you cannot actually send/receive anything) [Howto] Source is at [1] and [2]. You can also use the ppa at [3]. (includes armhf builds). Screenshots are at [4]. Then: Start WhosThere from the shell: whosthere --desktop_file_hint /usr/share/applications/whosthere.desktop You should also start yowsupd from the shell. It would be automatically started by dbus activation, but from shell you can see the debug messages, as error reporting is currently a bit scarce. First generate a password for your mobile number (Lower part of main screen). This involves two steps: 1. Requesting a code from WhatsApp, which is sent via text to your mobile number. 2. Verifying that code to obtain a password. Attention: You cannot use the same mobile number from different devices at the same time. Generating a new password invalidates the old one. You can then use this password together with your mobile number in the upper part of WhosThere. Note that in the lower part, country code and mobile number are separated, whereas in the upper part country code plus mobile number is required. In all case, there are no leading zeros. [Not working] - In the current version, you can not add contacts by yourself, but they will be automatically created once you receive a message from them. Afterwards you can click on the contact to go to conversation view and answer. - Logout - ... [Project members needed] I would be very happy if one can help me with: - the design (obviously) - the design (I cannot stress that enough) - coding - what you feel worthwhile If interested, you can also reach me on irc in #ubuntu-touch, username matge.
