I’d like to see a game of cat and mouse until Apple fucks up and breaks their own imessage app

If Bleeper were opensource, I imagine there’d be more contributors willing to reverse engineer iMessage.

I thought it was. What a missed opportunity.

Then they’d have a harder time charging $2/month for it.
