- xd1936 3y agoIt's really not. Beeper (and Sunbird, and others) up until today used a Mac server to sync messages. OP is describing an Android app that's natively talking directly to iMessage infrastructure, for the first time.
- varun_ch 3y agoSunbird was claiming they reverse engineered iMessage (either to maintain e2e encryption, or to just do stuff on device). It looks like Beeper has actually managed to do the latter, which is really exciting!!

There is a great blog post by JJTech (author of the pypush library, tech Beeper Mini is based on) also on the front page right now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38532167 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38532167
