View submission: How to use WhatsApp on dumbphones
I just started this same project like a week ago just for fun, is nice to see I'm not the only one with the same idea hehe.
I think that for KaiOS is possible to create a client that allows for notifications and maybe some attachments. I've been wondering if a bridge server like that could power a PWA that KaiOS 3.0 could use. The same could go for J2ME phones or even phones with unsupported/legacy versions of Android and iOS.
Very nice job!

On a side note: I think what is more appealing to me about services like this is the possibility of using old phones with modern web tools. One can still find old nokia phones that can make calls and send sms, connecting new web-bases services to those devices could bring a new breath of life to a wide range of devices.

On KaiOS, one can install this client for Matrix (which indeed has notifications or even VoIP calls): https://codeberg.org/chooj/chooj[1][2]

And then use a Matrix bridge to WhatsApp: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/whatsapp/[3][4]

One more option for KaiOS is XMPP: https://www.reddit.com/r/KaiOS/comments/1g0rj3y/whatsapp%5C_telegram%5C_discord%5C_facebook%5C_other/[1][2]
