    I was interested in Beeper until I saw that it was run by the guy who ran Pebble.

    Massive red flag for me. This’ll be abandoned just like he did Pebble…

        Pebble was bought out by Fitbit, who got bought out by Google. I had the kickstarter Pebble and felt Eric did an awesome job. But really it was the Apple watch that killed Pebble in the marketplace tbh.

      Although, what’s the worst that happens if Beeper dies in a couple months? Your bubbles turn green on iOS.

      Media quality between platforms is finally getting addressed with Apple adopting RCS.

      Only real gap is cross-messaging-platform end to end encryption, which is also on the roadmap for RCS. And if you’re really worried about security, handing over your iCloud credentials to a third party probably isn’t a great idea anyway.
