If a client can broke your system, then your server/protocol is problematic and not the client. Software developer teachings for starters.
- 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.

  @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.
