Looks interesting. May be I can use this to share my vibe-coded projects. Why does this need to be P2P?

Thanks! Are you directly working with the business API? I'm using Gupshup's bot builder for this, so didn't really face any issues.

Been waiting for this to implement Ghibli, Muppets etc. in my WhatsApp bot that converts your photos into AI generated art. Check it out at https://artstudiobot.com. 80% vibe-coded, 20% engineer friend.

Thank you! Let me consider this.

SMS behaves different in different countries. If I take a single country's number then international charges may apply if a non-resident sends me a message.

Also, interactive elements like buttons/images etc. are not supported.

Yes, will definitely consider adding support for Telegram as well.

If you're referring to your journal entries to Today Has Been, Export functionality will be available soon.

I'd love to figure out a way where entries are encrypted but also the features/user-friendliness is not sacrificed.
Re:Show HN: A journaling service that runs over WhatsApp on Monday September 23, 2024 @12:42PM (#41627959)
I do agree that getting to read entries from your past is quite magical and has to be experienced to really understand it.

Fantastic that you've set it up for yourself.

Hi. WhatsApp keeps changing its policies but if you have a business entity it should be possible to get it. If the business is verified by Meta then it should straight forward. Would you like to email me - I'm happy to get on a call and help. I'm on rahulg at bakbak dot me.

ha!

Thank you! Voice notes - not yet. But definitely on the radar. Would you prefer voice notes as it is or transcribed?
Re:Show HN: A journaling service that runs over WhatsApp on Monday September 23, 2024 @12:14PM (#41627670)
Thanks. Telegram bot sounds perfect too. Let me give it a try.

It's mentioned right below "14-day Free Trial" but I need to make it more obvious.

"You can try THB out for 14 days for absolutely free. At the end of the trial period, you can choose between our monthly ($5 per month) or annual ($48 per year) subscription plans."

I have also added it in the bot before you subscribe to the free trial. Thanks for the feedback.

Hey! Looks great. Will give it try for sure.

You're right. WhatsApp Business API has a cost (which varies depending on country and type of message the Business initiates). I'm hoping to recover the cost through monthly subscriptions.

Not yet, but I did think briefly about plotting purchases of a product across days.

Any other ideas regarding visualization?

Hi All,I've been trying to learn programming since forever and this project is the outcome of months (may be years) of effort.It connects with Twitter's streaming API to find people who are sharing their Amazon purchases and then pulls out product's name, picture and price from Amazon's product advertising API.
