Hey guys, we're working on a weekend hack called Briks (brikapp.co). The goal is to help you to group social content from the individuals that you follow, no matter where they post the content. For example, if you are interested in Kanye West, instead of going to various different websites to follow his activity, Briks groups all of it for you so you can see new posts, images, and videos as soon as they're posted. What do you think?

The idea seems pretty neat. The only complaint I have is that you logo looks almost identical to bufferapp's logo -- and since they also do social stuff it seems... very odd. A lot of users are familiar with the buffer brand, so you might want to change it to be a bit more unique. Best of luck =)

  I thought that, too. Also, it doesn't really look like bricks :-)

    Awesome, thanks for the feedback.

IMHO you need an explainer video. I wasn't really able to fully understand what the app does and what the advantage over competitors or not using it is...

  Some explainer text. I am not going to bother watching a video.

  This text seemed to work pretty good for me :) "we're working on a weekend hack called Briks (brikapp.co). The goal is to help you to group social content from the individuals that you follow, no matter where they post the content"

Hey Man. I'll review yours if you do the same for Mine? :) although you may be a bit closer to release. www.mometic.com (please paste comments on online contact form) -> net-net I was tempted to download it. But didn't look much past the closed beta. - how long till I know if/when I get approved,etc. -> the one thing that left me wondering was why is it better? Is it more thoughtful, can it cross post,etc. seems like it minges all the streams together,vs separate tabs for each. I guess having one view for all my personas makes sense? -> someone mentioned video - I hate it too, but in this YouTube world, peeps are more than happy to do in 3 min in what can be done in text in 20 sec. --> maybe an form entry too for GA. I'm thinking I need to rework mine. -- I found a free eye tracking app called Mouseflow. Should prove useful. Hope this is useful. Use my contact form on Mometic.com if you want to discuss.
