While I think the core focus of Beeper as a cross platform messenger is great, the bigger positive here in my opinion is a matrix client with good UX and design.

The user experience portrayed here is much more in line with what is required to get people less technical on one decentralized/federated network, such as matrix.

I’m currently working towards the same effort, in a very different stage of development, in that regard with https://github.com/syphon-org/syphon.

Props to Eric, Tulir, and the team for making such a good looking client!



Wait, did they do anything for the Matrix client? Their "Get Beeper" section makes it seem like they just use the normal Matrix client.

> Available on MacOS, Windows, Linux iOS and Android via Element

Which i assume is https://element.io/ ?


You read that wrong.

Available on MacOS, Windows, Linux.

iOS and Android via Element.

So they made a desktop client.


Ah hah, thank you!


Wow Syphon looks sweet. Gonna try it (knowing that it's not a finished product)


I've been following Syphon, it looks great!
