i have never seen a messenger app made by anyone that was capable of migrating all the existing users and their chats from another platform instantly. the day someone makes this, its gonna get traction by a mile compared to anything else out there. imagine clicking "import from messenger" and boom all users and chats from messenger added and clicking "import from whatsapp", "import from wechat" you get the idea

"better Beeper"

This is a different Beeper. I don't want a personal CRM, I know everyone in my Beeper chats well enough that I don't need a sidebar to prompt me about where they live. Conversely, I need Signal and Facebook Messenger because that's where my loved ones are.

However I can absolutely see that some people would want this. CRM for email is a solved problem and many professionals use CRM tools, but it doesn't exist in the same way for chat, and maybe it should (although email feels like the bigger market). This is probably in desperate need for a LinkedIn connection though.

My advice to the Amber team: is this for work or personal use? Pick one, make it great for that, and don't try to force it to be the other.

Something is weird about the javascript or CSS on the site. When I first scroll down, many things didn't animate and didn't show. When I scroll up and then scroll back down again, then they animated in.

What browser are you using?

lmao

Seems like a DNS issue. Are you using VPN? We used Framer to host the site.

The Framer team wonders if you continue experiencing the same issue if you use a different browser. Hope this is helpful.

I'm most interested in the CRM. I'm a Linux and Android user, so there's currently nothing for me to try, but a page dedicated to the CRM features might get my email address on your mailing list.

Good luck!

This does conflict with the premise "All messages are end-to-end encrypted and go straight from your device to the network of choice".

All AI features are _optional_. :)

Is your AI implementation on device only or is it making use of a 3rd party service (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google etc.)?

DmitryDolgopolo · 2 days ago

We use OpenAI models, and the data is never stored on our servers. The features are, however, fully optional.

if you can make the UI/UX of this better than messages, whatsapps, etc combined, then I'd be willing to pay money for it.
