[Feature Request] Create launch script when installed from npm

After installing with npm I'd like to launch walc by just typing walc at the command line (or more realistically creating a .desktop file launcher).

I beleive this is as simple as creating a bin feild in package.json but I'm not a node developer at all so I might be off. Regardless, hopefully this is a small change.

NODE_MODULE_VERSION 76. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).

Running npm rebuild or npm install has no effect. I have nodejs v12.18.1.

massive dns queries to web.whatsapp.com

There may be a technical reason for this but with WALC I have a single dns query to web.whatsapp.com every second.

With "native" Whatsapp-Web in Firefox and in Chrome there a no such periodic dns queries.

walc-dns-queries

with due respect....BORING!!!

I would recommend to make the client compatible via python and pxssh and design a combination of ssh and beautiful soup to interact with the web and make a direct connection with WhatsApp for linux...also use json .

Cheers!
feel free to check out my latest custom kNN algorithm !

[Bug Report] Error with ticks

Describe the bug
After the new update, ticks work wrong.

  1. Open WALC
  2. Go to a conversation window
  3. Write a message
  4. See error; tick does not appear/refresh by itself (but at phone ticks appear)
  5. Press Alt+tab
  6. Then again go back to WALC window
  7. Ticks appear sometimes / sometimes stays same(if delivered)

Ticks should refresh itself while the window is open, when the message has delivered.

WALC should support URL of htpps://api.whatsapp.com and open it in WALC

An alternative is to login to WhatsApp Web but then I would have to login to two places which is not appropriate.

Open links in default browser

First of all, thanks, finally a working whatsapp app again. But i noticed when you click a link, it opens in an extra window instead of the OS's default browser. I think opening it in the default browser would be better.

WhatsApp works with Google Chrome 36+

hi,

I get this, and it keeps on telling me "WhatsApp works with Google Chrome 36+
To use WhatsApp, update Chrome or use Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge or Opera." while my Chrome and Firefox are up to date, I made an upgrade on my parrot and installed the latest Chrome

Gtk-Message: 12:53:09.447: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"

Can't run...

I just tried to install and can't get it to run:

Any ideas?
