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.

    They are working on on-device bridging but currently all bridging is happening on their servers with reencrypting all messages. So you have to trust them handing all your messages.

    Even services using same protocol for encrypting like Signal protocol or MLS can have incompatible implementations, so just passing messages with reencrypting or on-device bridge is not possible currently.

        Well, the bridges are open-source so you can just go and see what they do.

        EDIT: Seems like you’re talking about the client app. Nevermind. It would be nice if it was open-source.
