# Conversational Community Apps The Breakfast App Connects People for Video Chats Over a Meal By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-04-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-breakfast References: [producthunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/the-breakfast) & [thebreakfast.app](https://thebreakfast.app/) Many people are now finding that spontaneous interactions have been taken out of their day and they're longing for interactions with new people in a safe way—The Breakfast is an invite-only app that offers a solution where people can meet and chat over breakfast. The Breakfast describes itself as "neither a dating nor a networking app" but a human app that helps people meet others and make great connections. The app does away with swiping and endless texting by encouraging people to video chat. Currently available on iOS, the app will be launching for Android later this year. When it's safe to return to life as usual, The Breakfast plans to reintroduce in-person breakfast sessions to connect even more creative, driven and open-minded people and continue growing its community. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Spontaneous-interaction Revival:** Creating innovative platforms that facilitate spontaneous interaction and connection between individuals. - **Video-based Networking:** Leveraging video chat technology to enable more authentic and meaningful connections in social and professional networking. - **Hybrid Offline-online Communities:** Developing platforms that seamlessly blend online networking with in-person interactions for a holistic community-building experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Social Networking:** Applying conversational community concepts to existing social networking platforms to enhance user engagement and connection. - **Professional Networking:** Creating video-based networking platforms specifically designed for professionals to expand their network and enhance career opportunities. - **Event Management:** Integrating online networking features into event management platforms to facilitate meaningful connections and foster community engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Friend-Finding Virtual Hangouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strangely.md) - [In-Person Connection Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connection-app.md) - [Introvert-Friendly Social Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/introvrs-social-app.md) - [Simplified Connection Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connection-apps.md) - [Real-World Connection Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dayone-irl-dating-app.md) - [Community-Oriented Meetup Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-pig-app.md) - [Private Sharing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waffle.md) - [Real-Life Connection Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offlinery.md) - [Safe Stranger Chat Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whisperly-app.md)
