I was on the beta testing team and have been using Beeper for a little over two years now.
The convenience of having an application to house all of your chat networks is amazing.

The biggest question of all,- Is it Open source ?
My phone will only installs opensource apps.
All of the Matrix bridges, written for use with Beeper, are open source.
Translation: “no”
?
Looks like the client isn’t, but they do offer a simple-way to self-host the backend (looks like it’s “just” a matrix server and a bunch of bridges) and then you can use any open-source matrix client to connect to that. Seems like a pretty good balance of a way to make money and the guts being open enough that one could move if the client/company goes side-ways, while contributing a lot to the open-source community.
If you have to name the parts that are open-source, then you’re not open-source.
