Formely gtkeddit, it is written in C++ and it's an archived project. It's currently still working great, probably slightly faster than Giara, but the UI is older and i don't like the way it manages trees of comments. Still very good as a Reddit client.

### Phone Camera ### <span style="color:green"> WhatsApp </span>
#### WhatsApp Web in Firefox
To have access to WhatsApp chats to talk to normies who don't care about having their conversations be actually private i use the WhatsApp Web interface on Firefox.\
Stuff that works include:
- sending, receiving, reading messages
- reproduce vocal messages
- see media sent and have access to media gallery of chats
- notification sounds when receiving a new message (if browser is open and WhatsApp is a loaded page)
- access to settings
Stuff that dosen't work include:
- visual notification on the phone screen when a message is received (The browser is the one that would need to send that notification)
- sending vocal messages (I was able to give the broser permissions but the issue now relies in the input device, i think)
- making and receiving calls
I have no interest in using features such as: status updates, channels, communities and so on, so i didn't test any of those.

This will launch the Firefox-ESR binary and use firefox as the browser. The binary will be executed in the same terminal in which you lanuched the Newsboat binary, so, in order to go back to newsboat, you will need to close Firefox first.
