Beeper Mini’s iMessage fight with Apple is about platforms, protocols, and power - The Verge
Beeper is right about the world, and Apple is right about Beeper.
If a client can broke your system, then your server/protocol is problematic and not the client. Software developer teachings for starters.
No, it's about making a quick buck with the first couple months of subscription before Apple kills the workaround again. That's it.
Companies know making a statement or somehow making their product sound like some fight for user freedom will make crap tier articles like these circle around, making more people know the product and therefore raising the chance of some sucker buying a subscription.
If this were a fight against locked down Apple protocols, they'd be Saurik - a dude who dedicated over a decade of his life doing this, a lot of personal money, a lot of time in courtrooms and similar, and never tried to sell you anything or get famous over it. He did more than people like Rossmann, but with a thousand times less public support and fame.
Right, right.
Which is why they've worked on so much, even open sourced Beeper Cloud for self hosting..
They also stopped subscription charges for now.
Why does the picture look like the logo is firing a laser lol
Because Apple is the Death Star, and Beeper is Alderaan.
Imessage is garbage, nobody cares.

@ijeff this article is factually wrong.
Can you be more specific?
@Dave I stopped reading the moment I saw that his thesis is based on the wrong fact that Beeper Mini relays messages through their servers. It doesn't, it connects directly w/ Apple, and the code is OSS & verifiable.
Explain your thought.
