There's always a possibility of me being wrong! It does look like a bit of a pivot doesn't it.. Good point, well made.
I think I'll go double check I can still log in to my chat apps directly just in case haha

- corobo 3y agoIf that's where they're going with it that's awesome, I've not been able to find that plan but I've also not looked that hard. Sweet
- LelouBil 3y agoFrom https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38531759 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38531759 > Our long term vision is to build a universal chat app (https://blog.beeper.com/p/were-building-the-best-chat-app-on https://blog.beeper.com/p/were-building-the-best-chat-app-on). Over the next few months, we will be adding support for SMS/RCS, WhatsApp, Signal and 12 other chat networks into Beeper Mini. At that point, we’ll drop the `Mini` postfix. We’re also rebuilding our Beeper Desktop and iOS apps to support our new ‘client-side bridge’ architecture that preserves full end-to-end encryption. We’re also renaming our first gen apps to ‘Beeper Cloud’ to more clearly differentiate them from Beeper Mini.
