A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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.

Meh, there is always some kind of feature it's missing that I want from the official app or one of it's competitors. I tried it for a while but ultimately went back to my regular apps.

Not in my case. I don't care about the bells and whistles that messenging apps keep adding, I just want to send and receive messages.

I used to say that too. I loved good old SMS. Then I got a job with a metal roof and suddenly I needed something to work over wifi

Having a metal roof doesn't mean you need stickers or chat backgrounds - even the minimal features of Whatsapp and co in a generic app is fine for me.
