Thanks for making this app. Is it possible to know what are the components that need to be installed after the initial installation ?

Then is it possible to know how the the auto-update works ?

Would you mind sharing the source? There's crypto involved so I'd like to audit that. Thanks!

Contradictory to this file i couldn't download the source tar.gz from here. ```defaultuser@JollaPhone2026 harbour-whatsup]$ pwd
/home/defaultuser/Downloads/whatsup/usr/share/doc/harbour-whatsup
[defaultuser@JollaPhone2026 harbour-whatsup]$ cat SOURCE-AVAILABILITY.txt
WhatsUp 1.0.0-1 corresponding source:https://htheb.com/sailfish/whatsup/harbour-whatsup-1.0.0-1-source.tar.gz
The archive includes the modified protocol and screencast source used for
this release. Their license notices are also installed with WhatsUp.
[defaultuser@JollaPhone2026 harbour-whatsup]$``` the doc has a whatsmeow path, so it suggests it uses whatsmeow
