It is just a Matrix service, you can connect with any Matrix client.
So I can sign up for beeper and connect through Element or another Matrix app of my choosing?
Yes. You can also self-host their bridges.
Would self hosting be possible (and fairly reliable) on a SBC?
I’m not sure what an SBC refers to, but the matrix server is pretty heavy unfortunately.
Single board computer (such as Raspberry Pi). As someone who used to host a matrix server I would agree it is fairly heavy and I was the only user of it. There are guides out there for setting it up on a Pi (example) so I suppose it is doable.
oh okay, ya I meant single board computers like a raspberry pi
Pretty sure the beeper app is just a fork of element with added ui for interacting with different bridges.
What password do you use?
