Where is the beeper mini source code? Does Beeper mini send any data to beeper? Does it only talk to Apple servers from your phone?
Unless the code, for the app is open source, that we can build ourselves, and maybe even stick on f Droid, I’m not going to trust them not to be man in the middleing.
From what I’ve researched, Beeper’s servers are only used when you use their push-notification service as it’s not possible to use Apple’s own push notifications(obviously). Everything else is done locally (encryption and what not). You don’t even need an Apple ID, just a phone number.
The backend code is already open source, however their app isn’t, so there is a bit of trust involved. Also, the app isn’t free so that sucks. There are plans to open source it though.
You can also try iMessage using the link I sent previously, all trustless and independent from Beeper.
If Beeper decides not to open-source their app, someone capable could definitely step up as once again, the underlying tech is open source.
I advise you to DYOR if you’d like to verify any suspicions, i’m not the best at explaining things.
