ChitChat is better. Closing the WA Desktop window kills the app, while here, it keeps running in the background.

I still use Chit Chat because it uses a Safari web view. WhatsApp Desktop uses a Chrome web view and doesn't work with OSX text replacements.

For me the best thing is that ChitChat does not toggle my Nvidia graphics on my MBP 2010.
Since WhatsAppβs app and several other clients are based on Chrome, they use the Nvidia graphics and I really hate this behavior if the resource-hungry graphic is used for no reason π

Text replacements alone is a reason to use Chitchat.

In any way, thanks for the great work!

Who said that official app is better? It is always good to have alternative:)

Definitely thanks for the great work, and yes alternatives are good ... if they are different!
From what I see so far, both seems to be native wrappers for the web app. If that's the case ... they're exactly the same.
LeoNathan, good catch for closing the app. I wonder if there are other differences. And maybe we can document them in the readme, to help people make a better choice.

Indeed thanks, ChitChat was and still is a great wrapper around the WhatsApp-web environment.
There are some subtile differences between this version of ChitChat (as there are also differences between this one and the fork by Neo11). The desktop client by WhatsApp self opens a dialogue window when sharing files and sending voice messages is also supported. Also the behavior of the close-window button is different as mentioned earlier. In the client released by WhatsApp the emoji-window opens faster, I think because of the build-in Chromium browser.

If I'm not mistaken, a key difference would be notifications? I seem to be getting native notifications via WhatsApp, but not ChitChat.
