Not really, they’re just speaking matrix natively. In theory this will help Beeper, since they won’t have to maintain a Rocket.chat bridge. In practice, I’ve tried to sign up to Beeper multiple times, but they never get back to me.

Same here. Just ended up rolling my own solution from the great open source out there.

  Good call, I'm working on that project this weekend for myself. I grabbed this resource from Beeper's landing page: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy Is that what you're using?

    No, but that's interesting. I manually setup Docker containers for Mautrix bridges alongside my Docker container for Synapse. Thinking I might switch to this though for less maintenance, that's a very nice find!

      The ansible workbook is great (I use it for my matrix homeserver). I've bridged multiple chat apps into matrix and things just work. But Beeper is a better client for this usecase. It has better UX for a all-in-one chat app - single button to turn bridges ON and OFF, a great client with filters, search (in all chats), etc. So unless you want run your own servers, beeper is a better choice (ems[1] is also an option) [1] https://element.io/matrix-services https://element.io/matrix-services

        EMS doesn't give me an option for bridges though, right?

        I haven't started using EMs yet (only researching it), but they do state that they support bridging: https://element.io/matrix-services/ems-pricing https://element.io/matrix-services/ems-pricing EDIT: Oops, i should have also clarified that the free account does *NOT* seem to include bridges...but the paid accounts do for an additional nominal cost (honestly seems a fair price): https://element.io/personal-plans https://element.io/personal-plans

        Both beeper/element get laggy if you have way too many chat's. Wish Beeper would let me have a blacklist/whitelist option so i could only use it for a subset of my more actively used chats, vs trying to connect to absolutely everything.

If you pay for a year up front, you’ll get access ASAP. I don’t want to maintain and debug stuff so I’d rather use a servicr

  They literally won't let me. I sign up and get a welcome email that says they're working on it and to stand by, and then they never get back to me.

    Okay so it wasn’t just me. I was confused too. I had to reply saying I heard I can start using it soon if I pay. Then I think I got a Stripe link or a landing page link that went to Stripe. They should fix that workflow.
