Their “how it works” blog article is worth a read - they’re using a blackbox reverse engineering of the protocol and re-implementing it natively in the app, so there are no man-in-the-middle servers. Impressive software engineering for sure.
huh, interesting. so from a security perspective is there any other concern with this protocol? at least they’re not using a mac relay server like Nothing Chats was
If you have any questions, I’m hosting an ask-me-anything on reddit.com/r/beeper - feel free to ask any questions you have for us there (after reading our blog posts first to see if it’s already been answered!)

For sure very interesting! And its open source and you can run it in your computer if you have the knowledge.
Yup, the PyPush python-based proof-of-concept can run pretty much anywhere there’s python.

The app itself is closed-source, but they use PyPush, which also has a blog post explaining how it works.
You can ask more questions on Reddit!

Heads up: People on Lemmy typically hate Reddit. That’s why we’re here and not there.
