Whatsapp Database Viewer

Tool used to view msgstore.db (crypt15 E2EE backup only) through a WhatsApp Web (dark theme) like interface.

Note: This tool relies on Flask for the backend so make sure you have it installed. pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Add support for user avatars and group icons (not possible currently since my phone is not rooted)
Get names from wa.db (not possible currently since my wa.db has no records, only empty tables)
Find a way to know if user left or joined group since there is no distinction in msgstore.db
Probably a lot of other things that I can't remember

Overflowing last message text (text-overflow: ellipsis doesn't work with display: flex)
Scrollbar going behind #top-bar
After reaching beginning of chat, other chats do not load (temp solution: refresh page)
