sleek
Sleek is a CLI tool for formatting SQL. It helps you maintain a consistent style across your SQL code, enhancing readability and productivity. (by nrempel)

The first one is called Mudslide and it's a CLI to send messages, media, generic files, location, and more from your WA contact directly from your terminal. Everything works by logging in via a QR code printed in the terminal, a bit like WhatsApp web. It's very simple and works well; however, if you want to develop your own tool by connecting to WA, then you can use Bayles, the library behind Mudslide. It's available in TypeScript and C#, and it allows you to create a socket to connect to WA and send messages programmatically. If you decide to go this route, my advice is to still take a look at Mudslide's code, to get a starting point with this library, and then develop your ideas further!
