It promises to be the one-in-all chatting app, based on matrix, providing compatibility to other apps (Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp etc.) through bridges.

So what do you think, from a privacy point of view and also user friendliness on the other hand?

This seems too good to be true, but deserves to be tested. Apparently, you have the option to self host your web service, in case you don't want to give them your data.

Beeper hosts a Matrix account and bridges for you so yes, it's possible to replicate that. their bridges are open source, too.

It is. But their client only connects to beeper bridges. So you gotta roll your own client too

well, you could use an existing Matrix client, like Element. some people already manage their messaging that way.
