I'm currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I'm currently out of ideas, so I'd like to heard if from you guys.

Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

Even with a matrix bridge, you still have to run WhatsApp -- the official closed source client. It doesn't solve that problem

I want a way to not have to run closed source software to communicate with users on WhatsApp

Yup, that's what DMA should solve (edit: or, rather, will solve, when Whatsapp fully complies with it)
