I'm currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I'm currently out of ideas, so I'd like to heard if from you guys.

Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

Ordinarily I'd agree, but for now, WhatsApp is tied to your phone number. I'm not sure if you can use some kind of service to create alias numbers but for many people, that's a big blocker when it comes to making another account following any kind of infraction.

I don't think meta would shift in requiring a phone number per account either,

Oh, I don't have a phone number. I just use a temp one online.

[–] vikingtons@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That works. Which service do you use ooc?

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 1 points 5 months ago

Juice SIM or MoneroSMS. It doesn't work, though. Only tried once, but the account was banned a few hours after creation :(
