I'm pumped for Beeper but have been on the wait list 6 months now, and am wondering if they're having implementation issues.
- erohead 4y agoWe're working through our waitlist, talking to customers, getting feedback and iterating: https://blog.beeper.com/p/beeper-update-4-out-of-beta?s=w https://blog.beeper.com/p/beeper-update-4-out-of-beta?s=w
- bsimpson 4y agoSurprised the FAQ doesn't say anything about encryption/privacy. The big selling point for Signal et. al. is knowing that corps/govs/etc can't spy on my conversations. If I was going to give another app permission to use my Signal, I'd need assurances I'm not sacrificing my security.
- shp0ngle 4y agoYou are, by design. Beeper gets around the e2e encryption by just running WA themselves on their side; there is no other way for them to be doing what they say they are doing…
- jfkimmes 4y agoI run several bridges from my home. With End-to-Bridge Encryption enabled this gives you about the same security guarantees as E2EE with a second device added (Signal Desktop, etc). With Beeper you can do the same, IIRC. Their value proposition then hinges on how good their clients can aggregate conversations and different chat networks, I guess.
- shp0ngle 4y agoSo _you_ run the bridge, not them? But then _you_ need to make sure it's available 100% of the time?
- donatj 4y agoI've been using it and loving it for a couple months now. I honestly didn't realize it wasn't open yet.
- striking 4y agoHappy customer here. I prepaid to reserve a username and the invite came through pretty shortly thereafter, but ymmv.
- skinnymuch 4y agoIf you pay $120 for a year, you’ll be let in relatively quickly.
