  • Well that’s some news. If they’re good news we will see. I’m a Beeper user but never heard of Texts (stupid name) before, which seem to share the same misson as Beeper. Texts was purchased by Automattic last year (according to the Beeper blog).

    What does that mean? Automattic punches with some weight in the chat space now. In general I don’t like it if big companies buy small products. However Automattic still seems to bet on the Fediverse, so maybe if the teams from Beeper and Texts can work together on a Matrix-based, open source chat application, we could get something really good.

    I’ve mixed feelings about this whole thing, some shy optimizm, some less shy pessimism.

    Well, time will tell.

  • Never heard of it before. However:

    End-to-end encryption keeps your notes secure. Our export and API keeps your notes accessible.

    I’m not relying on any ‘export’ feature for my personal notes. If they aren’t using an open format I can access with other software, it’s a hard pass for me. Personally, I want the data separate from the application, so I can choose my own sync provider and switch editor any time.

    TL;DR If it doesn’t support plain markdown files, it’s not an option for me.
