The Banter App is bringing back chatrooms of the 90s with a sleek new makeover. Organization is key to this revitalization, as conversations are created according to specific interests. For example, if users are looking to chat about beer at a specific event, this conversation can be created and joined by whoever has something to say.
Other categories are less specific, with topics such as Cuteness for example. An interesting feature with this app is its disappearing trick: after 24 hours the conversation is deleted. Of course, new chats pop up constantly so there's no need to worry about a lack of new friends to talk to. The app is still in its early stages with work to be done, but for now its perfect for talking over things you love with likeminded people.
