On-device bridging works like this https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. We'll put together a full technical deep dive for the real launch, this is just an open beta. Our signal bridge code is open source: https://github.com/mautrix/signal https://github.com/mautrix/signal
You don't have to use our hosted bridges, we've made it ridiculously easy to self host: https://github.com/beeper/bridge-manager https://github.com/beeper/bridge-manager
- mcsniff 3y agoI really hope it will be possible to configure the Beeper app to use self-hosted bridges vs using a separate Matrix client. Having the features and polish of the first party app, but with a user-controlled backend (like how Bitwarden does it) would be great. BTW, I have a Pebble on my wrist right now :)
- erohead 3y agoThat's exactly what our bridge-manager repo allows you to do. Self-host the bridges yourself, use the Beeper client app.
- zufallsheld 3y agoWhat I'd really like to do (and the poster you responded to) is to connect your app to my own self-hosted matrix-server.
- notso411 3y agoGenuine question. Why do you do this?
- thatloststudent 3y agoNot the OP, but the beeper client looks better and has native GIF support, among other niceties that more "normal" users would prefer over other clients.
- averageRoyalty 3y agoI'm confused about the downvoting. This is absolutely what a lot of tech people want to do, use the nice client and self-host.
- wkat4242 3y agoOne thing that would make beeper better than other options (eg self hosted matrix) would be the ability to combine multiple accounts from each service. I have multiple telegram, WhatsApp and discord accounts.
- brianjking 3y agoWill the new Beeper app gain support for Fitbit as the "Messaging" app? Before I could select Beeper, Google Messages, or WhatsApp. The new app isn't recognized by Fitbit as an SMS messaging app. Is there still plans for supporting multiple G Apps accounts?
- thatloststudent 3y agoIsn't mautrix/signal supposed to work on the cloud? Or is there some work that has been done to make it work on the phone?
- 2Gkashmiri 3y agoWait a minute. How does on device bridge work? Say WhatsApp?
