Context collapse with Beeper
I have been meaning to write about context collapse with beeper for a long while. Not certain its quite right but its the best word to describe how it can feel using Beeper

@cubicgarden Had to fit Beeper into my workflow. Turned out to be no point in using it for iMessages — those were people I was in constant communication with and not missing. I disconnected it.
Useful for those other messaging apps I wind up on, many because it’s what they use in their country. Nice because I might otherwise miss a Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, whatever because they fall through the cracks.
Means that most of my Beeper messages… are from Beeper about outages though.
@BramMeehan
I hear you. I find it useful to catch people on linkedin, FB msg, etc.
Keep wondering if there is a way to setup a whatsapp account without actually installing the official app. As that would catch almost everyone else.
Discord & Slack DM is nice for thoses catches too.
iMessage I kinda want to do just to complete surprise my iphone friends even for a few weeks.
