Good job! Do you like react? Actually I released last week a bulk messaging app using the same concept (but on mobile): https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@sandochee Hey, thanks a lot! Yeah, I love React so far! Looking forwarding to learning more and doing more. Yeah I had seen WhatsBlast earlier this week - good stuff. I like the personalized messaging bit - super powerful! All the best!

Hey @incept_shawn! Good to see this being released. This looks like a neat tool, which works at promise. I find myself manually Googling the URL protool and rigging up these shareable URLs, so this will definitely save me some time. This too comes in at a good time. From the Indian perspective, WhatsApp has been picking up and with their APIs now opening up, WhatsApp marketing and bots will blow up. What's your roadmap for this product looking like? I'd like to see more variations in the share button embedded.
Shawn Pereira
@raj_kunkolienkar1 Yup, I agree Raj! Thanks for the idea and the support. Ahaha, I can do that if people want it! 😂 I have a few new features in mind but let's see in what direction the feedback goes.

@incept_shawn Very nice product. We also have product related to WhatsApp Marketing. We have created a CRM on Web WhatsApp called WhatsHash. [https://whatshash.com] You should check that once, it's having features like - Quick Reply - Tags for Message, Contact and Media - Auto Sync Chat - Poll on WhatsApp - Ecom on WhatsApp - Exportable Reports - Powerful and Graphically rich dashboard and many more. Just check out and let me know if you need any help regarding WhatsApp related development. I will be happy to help you.

@kaushal_im Hey Kaushal, thanks a lot! I haven't tried out WhatsHash yet but from the looks of it, it seems insanely powerful! I'll make sure to try it out later and get back to you!

Hello hunters! 👋 During the summer, my friend and mentor Raj told me about the need for a simpler way to generate WhatsApp message URLs. It didn't seem like a difficult thing to build but I thought it would be a great way for me to finally learn React AND launch something into the real world! 😄 And after weeks of experimenting and ideating and talking to friends, here we are! My first Product Hunt launch! 🎉 While building WhatsAppr, I've also become much more curious about the WhatsApp messaging ecosystem and plan on exploring it further. I decided to make the project open source because it'll be good to see what else the community can contribute. I've also been interested in FOSS for a while and thought this would be a good way to get my feet wet. This is my first time here so just a quick intro - I'm Shawn Pereira, a 19-year-old engineering student from Goa, India. I've only recently really dived into tech but I absolutely love the feeling. You will surely be seeing more of my work in the future! Have a great day! ❤️ Also, would love your feedback and criticisms. Feel free to ask questions!

@incept_shawn Great project man! It's a 'Click To Tweet" alike service for Whatsapp. We can use this as 'Click To Whatsapp' on blog or websites. Thanks for this!
Shawn Pereira
@inuetc Thanks! Glad you'll find it useful. Do leave feedback and suggestions so that I can improve the product over time.
Renuka Figueiredo
Hey Shawn, congratulations on the launch. I love how easy this makes it for non tech people like me to generate links. Would it be possible to forward images along with text through such a link? 🤔
Shawn Pereira
@renuka_figueiredo Hi Renuka, glad you find it useful! Unfortunately, as far as I know, it isn't possible to send other forms of media via a message URL. Unless you paste the URL of the media file into your message.
Nishant Tilve
@incept_shawn Congrats man! Great work done with this product. Works flawlessly, does what it says. Great to see that the "Forwarded" tag can't be seen on the messages sent to multiple contacts at once. Features to upload and send multimedia from your local device and replying to a specific message would be a nice addition.
Shawn Pereira
@nishant_tilve Thanks a lot, Nishant! A lot of people are happy with the "Forwarded" tag gone! 😂Ahaha yeah that would be nice but I don't know how possible it would be!
Julius Alphonso
Hey @incept_shawn, I absolutely love this. Simple, elegant and a real time saver. It'll definitely make bulk posting easier for me, something I dread. One thing I'd love to see is the ability to generate share links for other services too. I'm pretty sure that telegram and instagram DMs have endpoints that let you do this. Really looking forward to seeing this project go forward. Keep up the good work!
Shawn Pereira
@julius_alphonso Thank you Julius! Yeah that sounds like a good idea. I'll explore it further. Thanks for the feedback!
Salil Naik
Very useful app. WhatsAppr saves a lot of time and helps share messages to multiple people without copy-pasting or forwarding.
Shawn Pereira
@salil_naik Thanks Salil. Do you like that feature more than URL generation?
Niket Kamat Satoskar
@incept_shawn great product man. I find it very useful. It will help me with sharing messages to multiple groups and people about workshops and events and stuff. Great going man !
Shawn Pereira
@niketkamat Thanks a lot Niket! Glad you're going to find it useful. Be sure to leave feedback and suggestions on what else you'd like to see!
jovian dsouza
Hi @incept_shawn , I really liked WhatsAppr man . Thank you very much for making such a cool and awesome product.
Shawn Pereira
@jovian_dsouza Hey Jovian! Thanks a lot. Looking forward to suggestions and feedback from you :)
Shawn Pereira
Which feature of WhatsAppr do you find most useful?
Agnel Vishal
Nice one. Did you scrape web.whatsapp.com ?
Shawn Pereira
@agnel_vishal Thanks! Hey, no I did not do that!
Shrey Keny
@incept_shawn Awesome project man! This'll make it very easy for me to share messages across multiple groups and spreading the word around about tech events happening :) It'll also make it easier for my friends to share it across their colleges, if there's a cross-college event happening. I'm seeing plenty of use cases for this and hoping to discover many more as I use it! Great going! Feedback : a URL shortener in-built would've been awesome!
Shawn Pereira
@shreykeny1 Thanks Shrey, glad you liked it! That's an interesting idea, I'll look into it. Really looking forward to more of your feedback!
