I like this. I'd like it a ton if I had a single feed that would aggregate my texts, whatsapp, my various email addresses, telegram, signal, skype, zoom, facebook messenger ...

Hey, me too! I've been building something like this for awhile, but it's a side project, and thus regularly de-prioritized beneath work projects.

Also, really a lot of effort to maintain, as each platform tends to frequently push breaking changes :(

Good on you!

I can imagine -- a solid feed with reply capabilities sounds like a maintenance nightmare. But a smaller feature set could cover the queuing need described here -- something that just extracts a simple .csv file listing contacts and when they were last contacted.

Beeper is essentially that. I’ve been using it for a few months and it’s surprisingly usable already.

Nice! That covers a lot of services.

Is it only for text? Will the fact that I video-chatted someone appear in Beeper, even if I have to use a different app to video-chat? It doesn't include email, right?

How did you get access to it? It seems there’s a wait list.

Sounds like the Rich Man's CRM to me

One can only dream, but some kind of Adium/Trillian for social media would be amazing.
