I use Matrix with a WhatsApp bridge. Best of both worlds.

Which bridge do you use? do you self-host it?

mautrix-whatsapp and, yes, self-hosted.

Is there any way i can host the whatsapp bridge but not the matrix instance itself, or something simpler. Even then, it does not really make my situation better. It would be adding one more layer between me and whatsapp, but not much more. As I understand, bridges help when you have multiple platforms, and you want to have one way to access them all, for me, only benefit would be the client would be free
