Do your chats look like this? Do you always forget which contacts use which apps? Do you wish there was a way to have all your chats in just one place?

Beeper is great but you have no idea what they’re doing with your data.

This is work, and I still think there’s a niche between the two, with an assembled docker rather than ansible playbook, that is going to be the one that takes off.

Definitely. Right now it causes quite a few headaches and Docker is also what's probably most known by selfhosters.
