  Beeper Mini – iMessage client for Android2023 · beeper.com · ▲1,521

  Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

  Hi HN, I built a small developer tool called *SimGate*. Problem: most SMS APIs (Twilio, etc.) charge per-SMS. For small projects, prototypes, or local businesses, this adds up quickly. What I made: - An Android app that connects your phone to the cloud via WebSocket. - A simple REST API where you send JSON (`deviceId`, `phoneNumber`, `message`). - Your phone sends the SMS using its own SIM plan — no extra per-SMS fees. Use cases: OTP codes, alerts, internal tools, or any project where you just need reliable SMS without provider costs. Stack: Node/Express + Websockets (backend). Demo &…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
