It is supposed to be a bot that automatically runs with your device startup, checks it’s own history and then executes the command to send a specific message & image to a defined contact on WhatsApp. I personally kept it at 9 days as a small fun project to tease a friend during a 9-day long indian traditional festival. The messages, phone number, file location and photos can easily be replaced.
The difficulty for me was the new experience, making projects itself is a new thing for me I’ve recently added to my timeline, and i prefer hardware mostly so I’m not much experienced with software work and working with so many libraries, that’s why this project is more of a reminder that “you have to do this today too. just keep an eye if something goes wrong” rather than something dealing with itself in the background.
What i am proud of can be that i learnt the JSON thing for this project solely but practice rather than any theory reading. and even tho i used an AI to guide me, i genuinely found a lot of troubles and came up with 3-4 creative workarounds by the end and completely made the structure myself even if i asked the specific commands from AI.
For those trying this, it is easy to use as it is, just make sure you already have logged into WhatsApp, adjust the pixel locations according to your device as given in README.md, increase time.sleep() if you think your device/network is taking too long. adjust the file location before running it and don’t use it to actually mess with someone, it’s supposed to be something for a joke, not to irritate anyone (unless they’re a close friend)
