About Chitchatter
Chitchatter is a chat app that runs in the web browser and connects participants directly to each other rather than routing conversations through a central server. Rooms are ephemeral, so conversations are not kept after they end.
Because there is nothing to install, it suits quick, temporary conversations where you want to share a room with someone and leave no lasting chat history behind.
Strengths
- Runs in the browser with nothing to install
- Peer-to-peer design without a central chat server
- Ephemeral rooms that do not keep history
Limitations
- No history, so it is not suited to ongoing conversations
- Participants need to be online at the same time
