Beeper

Beeper has been a great way to stay connected with friends & family through social media without needing to have the apps on my phone (fellow grass touchers unite!). It’s also great to have everything streamlined into one app. Also, the few times I’ve reached out to Beeper support, they’ve been very responsive and willing to work through issues with me. Big respect to the team and to this app, I highly recommend it!

The Beeper desktop app is just bad. What’s worse is it seems like development on it is causing the mobile app to rot. I recently had my pins for discord disappear from mobile. The reason was apparently cause I hadn’t opened the desktop app in months. Cause I don’t want to. It’s janky devolves into being a massive resource hog. Beeper’s desktop and mobile apps are hitting a point where they’re almost worthless, regularly requiring you to have to open the chat app you hoped Beeper would replace. Want to get rid of discord or facebook messenger, too bad you’re not gonna with Beeper they’re not remotely close to even being in feature parity form a text perspective. Want to send a gif, it makes little sense to use either of Beepers apps where it just plain sucks to do it vs others. Facebook messenger used to be great on the service, now I can’t get it to work cause I want use messenger with a disabled Facebook account. I think you can do, could do in beeper, and they removed the function of. You’d think Beeper being based on Matrix would mean it has decent support for that? Nope. It’s abysmal, arguably the worst client you can use for Matrix in how much of Matrix’s basic chat functions aren’t supported. I’m starting to feel like when Beeper manifested they knew they’d never achieve a universal chat app and that’s why they sold to Automatic so quickly.

maybe the app is good but it doesn't work with telegram. the code doesn't arrive. i’ve trying for over a month :/
