About

Jack Friks is a Canadian app maker who builds consumer and software products in public on X. He is best known as the founder of Post Bridge, a social media scheduling tool whose revenue is verified through Stripe on TrustMRR.^{Source [3]}^{Source [4]}^{Source [1]}

Before he wrote software he spent several years trying to earn money online: affiliate blogs from 2019, print on demand t-shirts, several YouTube channels including one about cryptocurrency, a Cardano stake pool and an NFT collection. He worked part time at McDonald's for three years and left Durham College in the final year of a computer programming program.^{Source [2]}^{Source [5]}^{Source [6]}^{Source [7]}

He started learning to code in late 2023 and shipped his first app, Curiosity Quench, in 2024. Later that year he launched Post Bridge, a paid-only tool that grew from his own need to post the same short videos across many platforms.^{Source [2]}^{Source [6]}^{Source [7]}^{Source [8]}

In 2025 he released lovelee, a couples app, and other small apps including doof and famlee. In 2026 he started Ship or Die, a paid 30-day launch community, with Marc Lou.^{Source [9]}^{Source [10]}^{Source [11]}^{Source [12]}^{Source [5]}

He keeps a public ledger of his projects on his personal site, which in October 2026 listed 23 projects, nine of them marked as failures.^{Source [5]}
