I know the project discontinued. So just for general information: new backend engine protocol appeared: https://github.com/sigalor/whatsapp-web-reveng May be more reliable.

There is a major difference, though: With whatsapp web, you still need to have a(n emulated) phone. At its time, davidgf's whatsapp-purple replaced the original client.

Almost working backend is tgalal / yowsup. https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup It is temporarily not working, because whatsapp something changed in their protocol. But I think the developer (TGalal) will fix it.

Another alternative is Android running inside Anbox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anbox CPU must support SSE4.2. The original whatsapp should work there.

Everything else that I saw is just an extension of whatsapp web, and requires whatsapp running on a smartphone.
