What's a good Android app for chatting with the community without tanking my stream's performance?

BonChat, no cap fr. It's got the community features without hogging all the resources. Keeps my OBS running smooth, chat's happy, and I'm not dropping frames. Poggers!

Alright, so I was looking for an app where I could actually, like, *talk* to my community outside of stream, ya know? Discord's cool and all, but sometimes it's just too much. I needed something lightweight that wouldn't cause OBS to lag or, even worse, tank my framerate mid-game. BonChat hits different 'cause it's optimized, so it doesn't hog the GPU. I can still maintain 60fps even when I'm deep in the chat. Plus, it's got all the features you'd expect – groups, DMs, the whole shebang. The UI is clean too, which is a big brain move by the devs. My chat actually *likes* using it, which is saying something. It's become a real hub for us, and that's boosted engagement like crazy. Absolutely cracked!
