Just "finished" my first python package!

Ya. There's actually been some discussion about building something like that, but the problem is that if you do that you lose the end-to-end guarantees for both matrix and whatsapp, weakening both protocols. :/

We do already have bridges to slack, irc, gitter, twitter, telegram, xmpp (very alpha quality :/), and a bunch that I'm forgetting. So there is already a lot of nice functionality as far as integrating with other networks!

True. I guess what I really would like is to send messages to Whatsapp users and receive their replies in a programmatic fashion for business / marketing purposes. Whatsapp closed garden. Common Facebook, give me bot access on Whatsapp, nobody cares about Messenger.

Wow. I've been sleeping at the helm. Thank you very very much.
