My #1 priority I would like to see would be the ability to "combine" users, so you can talk to them regardless of the network they are. Ie, I have a friend Joe Smith on SMS, in FB messenger, we send Instagram posts and chat in there, and we also send each other tweets. I'd highly prefer if I can just open "John Smith" chat and all the networks that I have with him are combined into one chat "area". Maybe tabbed/switch between different networks on the chat screen, or even combine all of them on one chat (with different color messages for what network I'm on).

This looks incredible, thank you guys for the work you are doing! Especially excited for the anti-overwhelm features.

One thing that would improve my day to day is a bridge for Microsoft Teams. One of the weak point of teams is the usability when you have different account. I see great opportunity for beeper to bridge the gap.

Sad to see that Google Chat is so low on the list, so if a single upvote helps with that cause, here's my vote!

Also I'd like to upvote spam filtering! Especially for Android SMS, it's becoming a huge user experience hassle that I struggle with on a daily basis. Recognizing that true spam filtering is hard, I'd be ok with a stop gap solution where I had the ability to do keyword-based filtering out of messages!

Thanks for the roadmap update though... Greatly appreciated!

I have been interested in gaining access as a tester for this app. Please contact me if there are any openings. I'm subscribed to your email list as rstephenstx@live.com

It seems like a great app, I have high expectations to use it. It would be great if it was also in AppGallery.

Maybe show messages from the same user across all the networks in the same chronological view and use threads to nest conversations? Tabs are just not the most practical approach. There has to be a better way to do this

Hi. I don't have Beeper yet, just reading about it so far. Sounds great. Android user, I use Textra religiously because of their customization abilities, you should peek at some of the customizations!

It would be nice if Beeper could register my phone number with the iMessage bridge so that I can receive iMessages without relying on my iCloud account

New Beeper user here... love the product. Been following it for a while now. Can't wait for the compose message feature for Android! That's the biggest thing for me now. In the future I'd love to see support for iMessage group chats, or even a simple "re-organization" customization of the app itself. What do I mean by this? I mean being able to drag a particular network and set it on my "hotbar" or dock of the Beeper app so I can prioritize navigation towards my preferred platform. Hope these get some love! Great work folks! Keep it up!

SPAM filtering is high on my list ...at the very least should allow a contact type for SPAM so current and future messages are ignored, but ultimately would like messages marked as SPAM by providers to also not come through on Beeper. Right now I mark them as low priority to get them out of my inbox.

It's currently a major security hole for the beeper app...if that is not possible due to the proprietary nature of SPAM lists then a 3rd party provider integration would be helpful.
