Pebble cements its smartwatch legacy as Google shares source code with the community

This is similar to how FaceTime and other calling apps work, allowing you to switch apps while keeping your friend in a little PiP (picture in picture) floating window

Note this currently only works for one on one calls, which are also e2e encrypted

complete with tabs, bookmarks, history, page zoom and find on page

Brad Murray has confirmed that all bridges will migrate away from being Matrix Appservices (“cloud bridges”), although the option to self-host your own version of beeper’s Appservices will remain an option

Brad Murray The current plan is for each client to send and receive with their own locally running connections, as opposed to letting one client use another client's connections to send in real time. We've had some pretty bad experiences with the old androidsms bridge with that architecture (since only your Android phone could send or receive a SMS).

Brad Murray We're still going to keep all our bridges open source and usable as Matrix Appservices, so if you want to use any Matrix client it's probably best to self-host against Beeper's homeserver (which we'll still support) or just run your own homeserver with our open source bridges

interesting choice, or business as usual?

we are proud to share that Beeper is out of beta!

Beeper is (finally) out of beta

today, https://blog.beeper.com/2024/04/09/beeper-is-now-available/

(paywall bypassed)

I’ve been using this on my iPhone for a bit (it’s free)

I really like being able to completely customize the address bar and items on it, as well as the main menu items, and the URL menu/contextual menu (the thing that appears when you hold down on a link)

there’s an iPad version available too via TestFlight

Built for speed and performance, with a complete redesign of the look and feel. You'll be able to try it for yourself soon…

A small sample of the many new features:

• OLED black theme
• Local message cache (all chats open instantly)
• Add/modify chat networks (no need to set up on desktop)
• Chat bubbling
• Tablet (multi-pane) mode
• Full message search (across all your chat networks)

He added, on Matrix, “Plan is to offer local bridges for all encrypted networks”

Although confirming this would be the case at launch, it was unclear specifically which networks are counted as encrypted.

CEO Eric Migicovsky reports that there are more than 100,000 Beeper Cloud users

The Digital Markets Act comes into effect Wednesday, March 7, 2024

multiple reports on Discord, Matrix, and Telegram, seem to suggest that, without any notice, Apple is lifting the hardware bans which had been applied to Apple users who had used their Macs and Apple IDs with Beeper

Bloomberg reports that the three additional potential gatekeepers, namely: iMessage, Bing, Edge, have all been excluded

The above graphic thereby shows all those that will be targeted on March 7
