Cloakroom 2.0 Is Like “Whisper For Capitol Hill”—And It’s Not Half As Bad As You Think
The app moves beyond anonymous chatting with votes and polls that will produce insider data for the app’s maker to harvest.
Last year, former congressional staffer Ted Henderson released an anonymous chat app for Washington, D.C. staffers and insiders to freely discuss bills and issues—think Whisper but for Capitol Hill.
