Comment on Beeper couldn’t bring iMessage to Android — but it can still make a great chat app

I really, really don’t understand what their business plan was

iMessage on Android wasn’t their main goal, it’s just what made them famous. they’ve set out as an all-in-one messaging app (basically they let you register on their Matrix server with bridges for other messaging servers, so that they can manage them for you if you trust them enough) that also included iMessage support. for now it’s free but they’re supposedly planning to add some extra features that will require a subscription.

You can also very easily run the bridges yourself if you don’t trust them. I do so in my homelab, it was 10 minutes of work setting it all up. Super stable, and e2e from my side.

For me their value proposition is their new beta android app which is the best Android matrix client, and their quite fast matrix server. That might change in the future when conduit is fast enough…

  Do you have a guide or list of links?
