Beeper V4 Beta Client

-

I use Windows and Linux at the same time, they're great OS!
What's not so great, there's no way to use WhatsApp on Linux (except for WhatsApp Web).

That's where Beeper comes in, it allows you to connect multiple messaging apps into a single inbox. The core technology is actually based on Matrix.

Back in the day, I used the V3 client. Since it's the stable one, it works well, except it's slow. (By the way, I need fast internet to open the client.)

V4 Client (which, at the time of this writing, is still in Beta) is faster at launch. Keep that "faster at launch" in mind.

It's still in the Beta stage, so there are going to be quirks. (however, I haven't discovered any that's slowing down my workflow)

But after using it for around a month, here are my results.

Advantages

  1. It's faster at launch. Unlike V3 which is significantly slower, V4 is much faster and snappy.
  2. It looks better. V3 client actually looks good, but if you compare it with Beeper Android, it looks pretty much done.

Disadvantages

  1. It doesn't have CSS. V3 has custom CSS styling, but V4 isn't ready yet. It used to have an option for adding CSS on older V4 builds, but not in the newer ones.
  2. It's "slow" at initial sync. Remember when I said, Beeper V4 is quick at launch? But if you initially sign in to Beeper, it can take a long time, especially if you joined a large Matrix room (such as Matrix HQ)

Jakarta-Bandung Trip (2025) - Day 3,4,5

Let's admit, having a trip can be tiring and I'm sorry for my inconsistencies. Hopefully you guys are still catching on! Let's start from Day 3 - (2025 Mar 31) I was on Bandung and I got into an amusement park (sorta), it's Noah's Park . But before getting there, it's quite a journey. Since the road conditions is quite challenging, especially with slopes. However, we did get there (safely). I opted for Plan C (IDR 300K) which includes: - 2KM worth of Luge Kart - ATV for 1KM - Archery - Baseball For Luge Kart and ATV, it's no fun for me. They're scary. ( Not Noah's Park's fault, it's mine. Since they told me a bunch of contraindications back then ). But the Archery was fun and... I sucked at Baseball (don't judge me lmao). After that, we're having some lunch and it's time for Minimania Lembang. I would say it's small and there's not much to see there. (Arguably, Cimory Dairyland at Puncak is much better). There's also a...

Jakarta-Bandung Trip (2025) - Day 1

Our family (I'm just a 18 year old son 👀) is having a vacation to Jakarta and Bandung. We're going at approximately 4 A.M. in the morning (Sat, 2025 March 29) We're going for the toll road, which is a convenient and the fastest way getting to Bakauheuni Port, if you bring your own car. The ride is quite smooth, actually. However, I saw an accident on the road, quite catastrophic, however we're safe. At the port, we're on the queue, waiting for the ship to arrive. And we actually got a different kind of ship than usual. I do have a low quality photograph of the executive class of the ship, sorry. It's quite comfy, but I took a couple of good photograph there, which you can check at my Unsplash ( @reuben_hu ). However, we do notice the ship is a bit "turbulent" than usual, but I think it's due to the weather, not the carrier. Anyway, after some "sickness debacle", we got out and we're going for a stopover in Alam Sutera. Be...
