How do you mean? I’m actually kinda interested since I have friends on WhatsApp and Signal. Seems like it would make things more convenient by combining both messengers.
I don’t see any downside, especially since it is mostly open source, so you can make your own server if you want. You’ll get Element and Synapse rather than Beeper’s fork, but it works well.
Alas, until they open it up more, it’s kinda useless for anyone that isn’t already using it
No, it’s very useful. They open-sourced the bridge, so you can easily add it to your own Matrix server: https://github.com/mautrix/gmessages/tree/main
What I mean is that there’s a “waiting list” to use the app.
Trad means that if you aren’t already using it, the new features aren’t useful yet.
I could probably have just said “anyone scrolling, be aware that there’s a wait to use the app” to be a bit more clear.

Is there a downside I’m missing?
Edit: they break E2E encryption for forwarding, so no dice :( https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-does-beeper-connect-to-encrypted-chat-networks-like-imessage-signal-whatsapp
There is that, but I meant that they are apparently weeks to months behind on their waiting list for new users. I’ve been on the list for a month now
