Anyone using Beeper (based on Matrix) for multi-channel chat apps?
-
Beeper is crap, they don't have a single panda based sticker set....
-
@_pressanykey getting an error - referring user has invited too many others lately.
Anyone else has a code we can use?
-
a code can only be used 5 times a day
-
@_pressanykey Thanks, but sadly:
-
@marcusquinn make a cron or script to submit it until it works? Even a curl command in a screen/tmux?
-
@marcusquinn well yeah...
That is what https://github.com/beeper/self-host is for...
..they have an ansible deploy script there too..
Def looks packagable!
-
@humptydumpty Unfortunately, I cannot generate any other code. Sorry
-
@_pressanykey can you please create a new code (by deleting the old code) and DM one of us on here to get the ball rolling then that user can create another code to share with others to get everyone else on board. I found a post on reddit with a bunch of codes, but most are invalid or are being used up too many times.
@robi btw, there's a timeout (around 5 mins) on the page where you enter the referral code. You'll need to type your email and then re-enter the login code that gets emailed to you before being able to try new referral codes. IDK if the cron can work around this.

I'm in. Onboarding process seems pretty well thought out.

Edit: iOS Messages users: If you're having trouble locating the "text message forwarding" option, do the following:
Q: Though I do have an iPhone, I don't see the Text Message Forwarding option Settings. What should I do? A: Make sure that you see your Apple ID email listed under Settings → Messages → Send and Receive. If. you don't see your email, it means that though your phone number is linked to iMessage, you haven't signed in to your Apple ID. You should see the option below the list to sign in.

I've got a few invites, refer.beeper.com/sAqMRo
-
I presumably can invite people too next time I'm oon my laptop...
I liked the idea but in practice turns out I quite like different chats being in different apps
-
@jdaviescoates Yeah, I agree with you on that -- I had this for a bit and ended up not using it much. I periodically check back and see what's changed and at least consider it again. Also, things going on like the recent situation with Nothing Chats, has me paranoid, effectively putting an app as a MITM.

Dammit it man. Now you got the tinfoil hat guy in me all worked up.

Well an alternative is Ferdium, basically a Webbrowser that runs all the web apps for you in one app
-
@RazielKanos There's so many of those electron-type apps. Webcatalog is my preferred for single page web apps.
-
Edit: no longer offering codes. Account has been deleted.
-
what annoys me currently is, that i have no way to use my own matrix account, yes? You can only use the one given to you by beeper?
Also i haven't been able to connect to my cloudron matrix rooms via beeper
