It's a friendly advice: Please do not put many efforts on this project (unless you have some extraordinary plans for it)

Anyone can send himself WhatsApp msg without any website/app.

You should try: - Save your WhatsApp number in the phonebook App - Open phonebook app and look for your number - Choose "Message +X-XXXXXXXXXX" option (with Whatsapp icon) - It will create a new chat in your WhatsApp

Another way: - Just create group with one contact and remove it later. Now you're all alone in the group and can use it as Notes app.

Good luck for your venture.

Thanks for your message and no worries, I'm not trying to get rich off of it. The website is just there to make it easy for people to message themselves, without the hassle of creating a group and annoy other people with it. PS: messaging yourself from the phonebook, like you mention, doesn't seem to be possible on iOS..
>I'm not trying to get rich off of it

LOL.. I agree. It's always good to do something instead of sitting idle waiting for some great idea.

>doesn't seem to be possible on iOS

Haven't tried on iOS. They get more restrictions then Android people.
