Not really, they’re just speaking matrix natively. In theory this will help Beeper, since they won’t have to maintain a Rocket.chat bridge. In practice, I’ve tried to sign up to Beeper multiple times, but they never get back to me.
Okay so it wasn’t just me. I was confused too. I had to reply saying I heard I can start using it soon if I pay. Then I think I got a Stripe link or a landing page link that went to Stripe.
No, but that's interesting. I manually setup Docker containers for Mautrix bridges alongside my Docker container for Synapse. Thinking I might switch to this though for less maintenance, that's a very nice find!
The ansible workbook is great (I use it for my matrix homeserver). I've bridged multiple chat apps into matrix and things just work.
But Beeper is a better client for this usecase. It has better UX for a all-in-one chat app - single button to turn bridges ON and OFF, a great client with filters, search (in all chats), etc. So unless you want run your own servers, beeper is a better choice (ems[1] is also an option)
Both beeper/element get laggy if you have way too many chat's. Wish Beeper would let me have a blacklist/whitelist option so i could only use it for a subset of my more actively used chats, vs trying to connect to absolutely everything.
EDIT: Oops, i should have also clarified that the free account does *NOT* seem to include bridges...but the paid accounts do for an additional nominal cost (honestly seems a fair price): https://element.io/personal-plans
