Founders Log #011: Where the Project Is Right Now
SocialCritiq is officially in motion. New logo, New momentum I’m currently in the process of getting a development quote for the full MVP build. While that moves forward, I’ve launched our YouTube, TikTok, Reddit and Instagram pages to start building the community early. I’ve set up SocialCritiq on all the major social platforms and started […]
Founders Log #010: We are the “Letterboxd for Tv Shows”

Founders Log #009: Kickstarter Relaunch: What’s Changing and Why
When I launched the first Kickstarter for SocialCritiq, I thought I was ready. I had the idea, the vision, the early UI, and the belief that people would immediately understand what I was building. The truth is simple. The campaign went up before the foundation was really there. This is not a failure story. It […]
Founders Log #008: We are the “Letterboxd for Games”
Games are the one medium that never had a clean, modern, social place to track what you play, review what you finished, share your taste, and discover new titles through people instead of algorithms. Steam reviews are chaotic. Backloggd is close, but it is still limited. Most tracking apps feel like spreadsheets. And none of […]
Founders Log #007: We are the “Letterboxd for Music”
There is a quiet frustration in the music world right now. It is something nobody really talks about, but everyone feels. We have endless ways to listen to music, but almost no good way to live with the music we listen to. Streaming apps are great at playing songs. However, they are terrible at helping […]
Founders Log #006: We are the “Letterboxd for Books”
It’s 2026, and the state of book tracking is honestly a little strange. Movies have Letterboxd, games have Backloggd, and music lovers have RYM. But books? Books feel stuck in a time capsule. Goodreads has been the go-to for over a decade, yet it still feels like it was built for a different version of the […]
Founders Log #005: Discord | The First Room for Our World
Before SocialCritiq becomes an app, it has to become a place. Not a feed or a timeline or another Welcome to the SocialCritiq Discord Before SocialCritiq becomes an app, it has to become a place. Not a feed or a timeline, but a room. A calm space where people can talk about what they love […]
Founders Log #004: PinLists | The Death of the Entertainment Lists
Founders Log #004 I was having some thoughts about how we create and share lists on the entertainment we love. I decided to bring something new this arena. Every platform lets you talk about what you watched. Some let you log what you watch.But none of them let you express who you are. That’s why […]
Founders Log #003: Quick Track | The Ultimate way to Track your Entertainment
The Problem with Manual Media Tracking I’ve always hated how much friction it takes to save something you just watched or read. Most media tracking apps force you to pick categories, fill out tedious forms, rate content, or organize complex lists before you can even hit “save.” When the credits roll or you close a […]
Founders Log #002: Socialcritiq | The 1000 Hour App
If you’re tired of app-hopping just to remember what you’ve watched, played, read, and listened to this is for you. I’ve spent over 1,360 hours building SocialCritiq, the all-in-one entertainment sanctuary designed to replace the clutter of Letterboxd, Goodreads, Trakt, and Backloggd. This isn’t just another tracker; it’s a unified archive for your entire cultural […]
