🚀 I Built a WhatsApp Web Automation Chrome Extension (Manifest V3)

Emmanuel Saleem — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 13:07:59 +0000

Hey devs 👋
I want to share a project I recently launched: WhatsApp Automator, a Chrome extension that helps automate WhatsApp Web messaging in a safe, human-like, and privacy-focused way.

🤔 Why I Built This

Most WhatsApp automation tools I found were either:

Too aggressive (high risk of bans), or

Closed-source and ignored user privacy

I wanted to build something:

Developer-friendly

Transparent

Focused on safety and privacy

Fully compatible with Chrome Manifest V3

⚙️ What the Extension Can Do
🔄 Smart Automation

Send multiple messages automatically

Random delays between messages to mimic human behavior

Min/Max delay enforcement to avoid spam-like actions

⏰ Scheduling

Schedule message campaigns for a specific date and time

Supports delayed start with Chrome alarms

📥 Multiple Input Modes

JSON mode – paste a raw array of messages

Form Builder – add/remove messages via UI

Profiles mode – load users with phone & messages

API import (POST) – fetch campaigns from a backend

Auto-polling – periodically check for new configs

🎛️ Full Control

Start, Pause, Resume, Stop at any time

Settings persist even after closing Chrome

🔒 Privacy-First Features

I also added privacy tools for people who work in public or shared environments:

Blur chat messages

Blur recent chat previews

Blur images & videos

Blur profile photos

Blur message input area

Hover to reveal temporarily

🧠 Tech Stack & Architecture

Chrome Extension Manifest V3

Pure JavaScript, HTML, CSS

No external libraries

Uses Chrome APIs:

storage

alarms

scripting

I just released @emmanuel-saleem/moving-button, a lightweight React/Next.js package that adds playful, moving buttons to your apps.

✨ Key Feature

If a user enters the wrong email or password, the button moves away.
If credentials are correct, the button stays still. This makes login forms more interactive and fun while giving instant visual feedback.

🛠 Tech Compatibility

React.js
Next.js
Works smoothly with Vite + React projects

💻 Installation

npm install @emmanuel-saleem/moving-button

🔧 Usage

import { MovingButton } from '@emmanuel-saleem/moving-button';

<MovingButton>
  Login
</MovingButton>

It’s perfect for adding a fun, gamified, or playful touch to your UI.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or ideas for new features!

🚀 Introducing Laravel Stripe Manager – Manage Stripe Customers, Products & Subscriptions Easily in Laravel

Emmanuel Saleem — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 17:51:49 +0000

I’m excited to share a package I recently built: Laravel Stripe Manager
.
It’s a Laravel package that helps developers manage Stripe customers, cards, products, pricing, and subscriptions directly from a simple dashboard and API.

🔹 Why I Built This

Working with Stripe in Laravel usually means:

Writing a lot of custom code.

Struggling with webhooks and sync issues.

Repeating the same boilerplate (customers, products, plans, etc).

Laravel already has Cashier
, but I wanted something that goes further with:
✅ A web interface for managing Stripe resources.
✅ Local database syncing.
✅ Easier subscription lifecycle handling.

So, I built Laravel Stripe Manager. 🎉

🔹 Features

Manage Customers (create, update, link payment methods).

Manage Cards & Payment Methods.

Manage Products & Pricing (one-time + recurring).

Manage Subscriptions (create, cancel, resume).

Automatic Webhook Handling (sync invoices, payments, etc).

Prebuilt UI pages: /stripe-manager/customers, /stripe-manager/products, /stripe-manager/subscriptions.
