I don't care about beeper one way or another, but that bloody image with the post, it needs to die in a fire.

Honestly this app sounds almost too good to be true, but I’ll be keeping an eye on it anyways just in case.

Applicable XKCD: https://xkcd.com/927/

I remember trying to setup matrix bridges using these exact repositories a while ago!

So if this company does the dirty job behind like server management and brings it nicely packaged as product, I'm fine with this. I'm tired of having to install more than 2-3 apps (lots of families abroad) just to communicate.

Been using their bridges for over 2 years, super happy that I no longer need WhatsApp installed on my phone.

If you're like me and live in a country where a shitty chat application is required to be able to function in society, software like this is a breath of fresh air. The bridges are also super stable and incredibly well written.

Note: to be clear, I don't use beeper itself, but use their open source bridges (what beeper is using internally) on my own self hosted Matrix server.

Meh, there is always some kind of feature it's missing that I want from the official app or one of it's competitors. I tried it for a while but ultimately went back to my regular apps.

"pebble notification support" then show just the generic default support with no action? (No black dot on the right). I can reply to WhatsApp messages using the pebble but here doesn't look like, seems just basic support handled by the pebble app

So much for waiting on the wait-list.... But I'm excited!!!!

This scans as VCs trying to enclose the internet. If you wanted a communications protocol standard

1. we have many of these
2. what’s wrong with ActivityPub?
