Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/guyzyl/whatsapp-contact-sync/issues/25

Currently, the projects is fully based on whatsapp-web.js.
It's a very good open source project, but the problem is that in order to interact with the WhatsApp web API, it opens a headless Chrome browser which is very inefficient.

That's where Baileys comes in.
It's a library which provides a full WhatsApp web API, but does so without requiring a headless Chrome browser.
This should make the code both faster and more efficient.

Nope, no progress yet. It's a very big change that I haven't gotten around to addressing. Maybe now that Claude does such a great job I might :)
And thanks!
