I don’t think very highly of a cloud based app asking me for my credentials for every other cloud based app I used.

if Lorem Ipsum is the first information i have about an app, i don't need to think about it. This is from their webpage 👉

“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.

In order to provide the service, Beeper collects device information, including OS, hardware, public IP addresses, network routing information, information on the installed Beeper client, and other device settings.

🤔

bloat

Also the service is 18+. Most likely to avoid stricter data protection around children data.

This seems too good to be true, but deserves to be tested. Apparently, you have the option to self host your web service, in case you don't want to give them your data.

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.

Isn't this just adding another potential point of failure to every single service you add to it? Hard pass.

I've been on the waitlist for a while and am excited to get through. It may suck but it's worth testing. The privacy issues aren't ideal but it doesn't seem like they sell your data.
