Well this is interesting. I hadn't heard of Beeper before. Many years ago I used Trillion (I think it was) as a chat aggregator. It fell apart pretty quickly, but Beeper looks promising. I signed up for their wait-list. We'll see what happens.
Trillian. It's named after a character in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
What sorcery is this?
A bunch of Matrix bridges on one platform, with some extra funding. It looks cool, but isn't lifechanging. It is designed to (hopefully) make it easier to use, but if you don't care, you can set up the bridges yourself on your own matrix server.
I'm surprised it's possible to talk to most of those services without having access to trade secrets. I guess you can get that info from reverse engineering the clients, but I'd expect that approach to be very brittle and possibly subject to legal action.
Signed up for the waitlist. Thank you!
