It promises to be the one-in-all chatting app, based on matrix, providing compatibility to other apps (Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp etc.) through bridges.
So what do you think, from a privacy point of view and also user friendliness on the other hand?
I like it so far, seems to work reliably and the client is leaps better than any other Matrix client on iOS.
Haven’t checked out the option to self host the bridges yet but it’s on my list.“For example, if you send a message from Beeper to a friend on WhatsApp, the message is encrypted on your Beeper client, sent to the Beeper web service, which decrypts and re-encrypts the message with WhatsApp’s proprietary encryption protocol.”
So, not really end to end for most common use-cases.
Yeah I got my invite last week. But between the time it was announced and looking into it, I’ve balked and won’t use it.
That said I’m considering self hosting
