You mean like Matrix or XMPP? They just aren't as ubiquitous as email unfortunately.

At least you can bridge WhatsApp and then use whatever client you like.
how to?
I mean I know that I can google it up but I'm looking for a working example. I found some code in github that is obsolete. Also whatsapp requires phone code and qr scan so looks like it's designed to prevent a server-only bridge.
I got it running with NixOS https://github.com/benjajaja/nixos-rk3588/tree/main

WhatsApp does work, I use it on a daily basis. The bot/bridge makes it easy to log in with the QR code. You need to keep the phone app as you need to open it at least once a month or so.

HMU if you need more info.

thanks!
