We couldn’t believe how bad the analytics were, so we built our own.

Ever try to drill useful information out of your social media site and end up more confused?

Same here.

Most sites gave us nice-looking charts but didn't say anything. Or worse showed fake-looking engagement numbers and covered up what truly mattered.

So we built our own analytics engine for Loopify, with one goal in mind:

Loopify started out of pure frustration. Here’s why we’re building it.

We didn t set out to build a startup. We just wanted to post content without opening six tabs and fighting with clunky tools.

But every platform we tried had the same problems:

  • The pricing felt like a joke (who are these tools built for?)

  • The analytics were embarrassingly bad

  • The UI was somehow both outdated, overdesigned and painful to use

  • And nobody seemed to have a real vision beyond schedule post

  • No way to manage multiple brands

  • Poor collaboration

  • No additional good features

  • Did I mention they are EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE?

So we did what most builders do when they've had enough: we started building the tool we wanted.

We’re building Loopify, a new kind of social media tool. Come shape it with us🏗️.

Most social media tools feel like they re stuck in the past. Clunky, overloaded, expensive, and somehow still making you do five times more work than you should.
My friend and I got tired of bouncing between platforms, spreadsheets, and modern tools that didn t feel all that modern. So we started building Loopify a clean, focused workspace for posting, planning, and tracking across multiple platforms.
We re not launched yet, but we re building in public and talking with people who ve felt the same friction. If that s you, come hang with us. We ve got a small Discord where we share updates, get feedback, and keep it casual.

OpenAI just dropped a new Codex, where do we go from here?

The new model Codex is out, and already it feels like a giant leap forward. It's faster, more accurate, and starting to feel less autocomplete-y and more like an actual coding sidekick. But every time one of these bounds happens, I can't help but wonder what it means for how we actually build. Are we heading toward a world where we still code, or mostly just make slight adjustments on what AI offers? Seriously curious to know: Does this get you more stoked or more concerned? Will we be shipping faster, or just spending more time in review? Is it opening the door for more people to build, or making it harder to trust the process? Would love to hear your thoughts, especially if you've already tried it out.

What’s one metric you secretly ignore in your marketing?

We're drowning in dashboards. Impressions, click-throughs, followers, reach, saves, shares but not all things are equal. Telling, is there a metric you're meant to be keen on, yet in actuality, you're not? Maybe you: Don't care about likes but are ridiculously fixated on replies Track shares but never take the time to check reach Are concerned about DMs only because that's where the magic happens We're building a social tool on the social web and taking a lot of time deliberating about what's truly important, and what just looks good on a chart. Would be great to hear your own opinion regarding what you're paying attention to (and what you're not).

We’re building a social media tool, come hang while we figure it out

We re working on Loopify, a new social media tool for people who are tired of juggling 5 tabs just to post a reel.
Still early. Still figuring things out. No sales, no pitch. Just building, testing, and talking with folks who ve felt the same friction we have.
We started a small Discord to share ideas, get feedback, and talk through what we re building. If you re into product-building, social media workflows, or just like lurking in early-stage chaos you re totally welcome.
Drop in here if you want to hang:

Most social tools feel like they were built for someone else.

My friend and I were running into the same brick wall over and over again: we'd attempt a tool, be excited for about 10 minutes and then it'd be like it was built for another team, another workflow, or honestly, another era.
Some were clunky. Some were too complicated. None of them worked how we needed.
So we set out to build Loopify, something we'd actually want to use ourselves:
Quick. Efficient. Simple. Doesn't get you thinking you require a training program just to book a TikTok.
We are looking for as much user feedback as possible. Talking with teams, individual creators, small brands, anyone who's had to fight through tools just to keep up online.
If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear:
What's your biggest friction point with current tools?
What's one teeny feature you'd love to have but never see?
Or just something you dislike doing that could be simpler?
Seriously appreciate any ideas you pitch our way.

In a world where everything is becoming automated... how do we keep our products human?

Hi Hunters

I m currently building a product that blends digital efficiency with human warmth. It s designed to solve a real pain point, but in a way that respects emotion, context, and intuition.

Think:

Tech that doesn t just work , it understands.

Has marketing become too fast, too automated... and too forgettable?

You write a post.

  • AI optimizes the headline.

  • A/B test decides the layout.

  • Analytics picks the winner.

  • SEO tools rewrite your words.

All of it works.

But suddenly, everything sounds the same.

Got frustrated with social media tools, so we started building my own.

Like most things, Loopify started out of frustration.

Cameron and I were just trying to find a simple way to post across multiple platforms, but what we found were either outdated tools that felt like flip-phone era relics, or shiny ones charging premium prices for the bare minimum. Or both. So we started building what we wished existed. Something modern, clean, and actually pleasant to use.

Right now, we re in learning mode, talking to creators, marketers, and small teams to understand what actually matters in a tool like this.

Curious to hear your thoughts:

What’s a product that flopped but should’ve succeeded?

Some products are just too early for the market, only to be rebranded or reinvented years later. Think of Google Glass, the Microsoft Courier, or even early versions of VR. What s a product you loved (or saw potential in) that was just ahead of its time?
