I share a lot of articles from my desktop too. Actually, mostly when I'm not working when I should be. I really like messenger.com - what are your thoughts around desktop? Also - when can I buy stickers? -- Sincerely, a Korean guy

@chug2k Good call, Charles. I frequently read articles on Breaker when I should be working on Breaker. :) We’re hard at work on our desktop experience, and we would love to add the ability to browse Breaker content from the web at some point in the future. Great idea! Sincerely, an Irish guy

@chug2k Seriously though, thanks for bringing up stickers. To be honest, for the longest time I didn't quite understand their appeal. I gave it a shot about a year ago just to see what all the hype was about. Now I use them daily to communicate. :) It's not hard to imagine cool stickers to make interest-based conversations really come to life. Great idea!

I'm stoked to see Breaker live in the App Store. Shailo is a StartX buddy and I’ve been on the private beta the past few months. @shailorao - Messaging and content aggregation is a fun, but crazy competitive space. How is Breaker going to stand out?

@andrewlockhart thanks for submitting! Whoa, Breaker is finally LIVE! Our team wanted one place to explore and chat about the things we care about with the people that matter to us the most. Starting conversations about your interests on existing social networks and messengers should be simpler- hence the Break button.

Really cool idea about private conversations around topics. I could imagine this evolving into a platform for conversation in any context with relevant comments sorted to the top, for instance on a youtube comment page or news article. Where do you see breaker heading over the next 12 months?

@nedrockson Thanks Ned! One of the main things we want to do moving forward is continue to perfect our BreakRank algorithm. We want our users to instantly see content they personally love and want to discuss at the top of their feeds.

Derek, Aneesha, our advisors/ investors, and I learned a ton the past few months from our private beta users. We’re pumped that Breaker is now available to the public. We want to make the next version even better. All feedback (praise, questions, requests, or criticism) from the Product Hunt community is super helpful and appreciated.

@shailorao Any reason why this isn't available internationally?

@ninthart The initial content focus has been US-centric, but we're very eager to expand. What country would you like to see Breaker available in next? We'll bump that up our priority list for you. Appreciate your interest Brad.

We’ve spent a lot of time on BreakRank, an algorithm that sorts the content in your feeds by conversation starting ability. It refreshes often, but it’s not simply a time-ordered firehouse. This approach is something in between what you see in Facebook and Twitter feeds, and we're hoping it's a better experience than both. We’re constantly tweaking this behind-the-scenes and definitely want to get the community’s feedback on it. Let us know what you think!

@derekfitzpatric wondering how to do you filter out the noise from what is relevant? Also, a lot of information on twitter get's buried overtime throughout the day. Do you think a Google News like feed of the most relevant and influenced information will help bring content that is shareable and actionable with my contacts? Love the app thus far, looking forward to hearing back.

@rigadoohaus Excellent question, Phil. Our BreakRank algorithm is intended to filter out noise and show you the most relevant content for starting conversations. The algorithm uses metadata about the subject matter, the source of the content, and the content itself to push trending conversation starters to the top of the feed. Moving forward, we want to continue to personalize the algorithm for each user, so that everyone will have the perfect feed just for them! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the app!

Super excited to announce that Breaker is now featured on the App Store!   Executing an idea and bringing it to reality in time for iOS 9 was an amazing experience.   One of the things my friends really like about Breaker is the focused feeds in the Interests tab. I'd love to hear ideas on how to make this screen and the feeds look even cooler.
