Self-taught Canadian solo builder of Post Bridge and a string of consumer apps

About Jack Friks

Jack Friks is a self-taught developer and solo app builder from Canada who taught himself to code in about a year and built his first profitable apps from his mom's basement. He is known for his upbeat, very personal build-in-public posts and short-form videos, which have grown his X audience past 175,000 followers.

His main business is Post Bridge, a social media scheduler that lets creators and solo marketers post the same content to many TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and other accounts from one dashboard. He launched it in September 2024 and it has grown to roughly $49K MRR with Stripe-verified revenue on TrustMRR.

Before and alongside Post Bridge he has shipped many small consumer apps, including the couples app Lovelee, the anti-doomscrolling app Curiosity Quench, Deep Work Depot, Doof and YearPix, and he keeps a public tally of his hits and failures. He also runs the Ship or Die founder community, publishes an organic growth guide for B2C mobile apps and has written short books on productivity and consumption control.
