Show HN: Beeper Mini – iMessage Client for Android

   [being rewritten] Cross-platform iMessage POC

   

   Interestingly, the reference implementation does seem to reference FairPlay, which is very much a copy prevention/anti-circumvention system (used for iTunes content, but also video encryption via HTML EME): https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush/blob/main/albert.py

   Assuming that DMCA does not cover API authentication (i.e. preventing unauthorized third-party clients from being able to access a server-side API – and I really don't know if it does or doesn't!), I wonder what the implications are if the same mechanism is used for both DMCA-covered DRM mechanisms, but also non-covered other purposes.

   Does this look like the same file from the deleted repo? https://github.com/rdxunlock/albertsimlockapple/blob/main/AL...

   I'd love to see an open source version of Beeper with no analytics. I'd be happy to host my own notification server.

   They started working on a bridge. I have endlessly begged them to make one.

   If I knew Go I would roll up my shelves and work on this myself.

    A Matrix-WhatsApp puppeting bridge

    

    The best you can do now is run whatsapp apk on an emulator or spare device, then auth that with the matrix bridge, then you can avoid needing to use whatsapp clients on daily drivers. Works decently well: https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp
