WhatSignal, WhatsApp <-> Signal relay, written in Go

https://github.com/bikemazzell/whatsignal

I'm working on a WhatsApp to Signal relay. I.e.: whenever someone sends a WA message to you, it appears in your Signal. You can reply and it will go back to the original sender.

Why? I'm privacy conscious and don't fancy using a Meta product. But some of my friends/associates/family still insist on WhatsApp only. Running this WhatBridge service on my micro server behind a VPN allows me to communicate without having WhatsApp on my mobile.

Behind the scenes, it connects WAHA (https://github.com/devlikeapro/waha ) and Signal CLI (https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli). Still early stages, but getting closer to a workable state.



Very cool project. I've wanted something like this for ages but never had the patience to glue it all together. Do you plan to support group chats too? That was a huge headache in my case. Excited to see how this evolves, even if setup's a bit fiddly.
