Beeper has been acquired! The team has joined Automattic and will continue to build Beeper.

Automattic has added Beeper to their project roster that includes Wordpress, WooCommerce, Penpot and more.

As an open source project based on Matrix, with packages available for Linux… I think this ensures the future for a viable messaging app on our platform of choice.

This will further augment the use of Matrix, which may not be the best protocol for the job as others have commented in the past, but it’s better than proprietary alternatives, and a great starting point.

    It is not open source, so effectively no. It uses bridges which are open source and you can host them yourself and completely sidestep Beepers closed-source client.

      I’ve tried out the closed source version, and I don’t mind that part so much as all my messages apparently being unencrypted on their server
