This is a fun little script that I wrote one evening. It makes use of whatsapp-web.js. The script will update your ‘about’ to Day <number_of_days_since_you_were_born> every day at midnight.
Here’s a link to the Github repository: https://github.com/JohnKuruvila/whatsapp-about-automation
Displaying the number of days I’ve lived seemed like a cool idea. But I did have a few other ideas too:
- Display my current real life status. I could fetch data from my Home Assistant instance and dynamically change my WhatsApp about based on my location, current activity or something similar.
- Display one line from the Bee Movie script each day.
- Display something based on the current date. Like seasonal greetings.
- Display my phone’s remaining battery percentage.
