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.

    Only problem is, the average user gets hooked to the shiny UI, not to the invisible backend.

    When Microsoft bought Skype, they switched from a secure P2P network to a server-centered network easy to mitm… and the majority of users said nothing. Later on, they switched a few UI elements, and suddenly there was a user uproar.

    If Beeper gains any traction, a shiny privative UI is their out to monetize/enshittify the service.
