When I was reading about Beeper I kept recalling an app I found in a Linux distro’s repo that I was testing but forgot the name. Just remembered it was called Rambox. Similar concept but much bigger in scope.
Given that I’m a non-social type of person I may not have a need for Beeper but may still check it out. Seems promising.
Not really. Look at all the the linked social medias and chats, and the term “consolidator”. It’s more of a way of using all 14 competing standards with one tool. Not actually to create an another one.
It’s an interesting idea, but I personally don’t like this concept. People should be encouraged to leave something like WhatsApp. Such an app just helps them to stay where they are. If a Signal user wants to chat with a WhatsApp or Telegram user, then it’s easy enough to install those apps (preferably in a container). Messages won’t be missed. And it’s better not to get tired telling WhatsApp users that they are using the Idiots’ Messenger (and it’s easy enough to switch to an other one).
