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 got an invitation the other week and I'm using it for things that are fiddly to maintain a bridge with self hosted Synapse and Mautrix, which I also use. I was having a look at the phone app and just noticed that it's mostly reskinned Element. I'd be interested in hearing what their phase 2 is though and perhaps more how it's going to affect individuals.
What do you mean by Phase 2?
There's some stuff about the roadmap for most of this year: https://blog.beeper.com/p/state-of-the-app-spring-2023
As in the Underpants Gnomes - what does it do to make a profit? I've since seen they're going to charge $10 a month, which is fine, but from my point of view I run Matrix with the same bridges all ready so don't need it. However, if they're going to make multiple chat applications work in one app with privacy then it's worth supporting.
