Aren't you worried about Apple's reprisal ?
Also it might be worth adding a word about the privacy of the messages. Am I correct that the end to end encryption goes out the window and each Matrix connector can see the messages in plain text? I think it's not so much an issue as long as it's clear to the user, and that they pay for you to keep their private messages private.
- LordOfWolves 6y agoI'm also curious about Beeper's plan re: potential response/pushback from Apple and the status of (likely broken?) E2E in iMessage.
- Spivak 6y agoIf I backup my WhatsApp messages in plaintext or screenshot my iMessage it’s still E2E. Once the message is delivered all bets are off. Forwarding all my messages to some 3rd party service doesn’t break E2E anymore then forwarding them to my friends.
- harlanji 6y agoI’m homeless and pay $10/mo for a terminal app. The value is in the eye of the beholder... FWIW I used to be a pretty well paid software engineer, and I run as much of my personal IT as possible... so for me, the $10/mo is worth it to save seconds 100s of times per month and make hours of experience per month pleasant.
- swiley 6y ago>>(from the website) we send each user a Jailbroken iPhone with the Beeper app installed which bridges to iMessage Is there really something that makes iMessage so difficult to reverse engineer that this is considered economical? People were able to write AIM clients 20 years ago, what special trick has Apple used?
