Great job, @gregavola! The Discussions feature is exactly what the LEGO community needed. It's awesome to have a dedicated space to talk about our favorite sets and share tips. Any plans to introduce user profiles or badges for active participants?
@renchu_song we have challenges for users in the app under the explore tab. Check it out!
Hey Greg,
Do you have plans to integrate any gamification elements into the discussions, like badges or rewards for active contributors?
How are you moderating discussions to keep things family-friendly given LEGO's broad appeal?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin we have Challenges - which are like badges - that you can opt into to earn!
Moderation is something we have already where you can flag posts that I review! More tools in the future!
Awesome update, @gregavola! Discussions sound like a game changer for the LEGO community. Finally, a way to chat about my latest sets without interrupting my builds! Can't wait to join in! 🧱
People in the replies underestimate the demand for such niche tools. Just look at bricklinks traffic figured. The demand is definitely there! Good job and good luck! :)
Okay, this Discussions feature sounds cool! A few questions though -
- Can you pin specific discussions to keep them at the top?
- Are there any limits to the number of discussions we can start?
- How does the paid subscription differ from the free version?
Looking forward to trying it out!Good luck with the launch.
@asherdorianthorne hey there!
- you can’t pin discussions right now - maybe something to consider for the future!
- there are no limits right now to how many discussions you can create!
- check out https://getbrickd.com/builder to get more details on the paid version!
Looks like a really cool feature! Just took a quick glance at Discussions and it seems like a great way to chat about new releases. The paid subscription also looks promising. Congrats on the launch!
What a cool idea! Discussions sound like a fun way to connect with other brickd users and share new finds. Love the addition of brick Builder for power users too!
I see the idea behind this app but I wonder how it actually adds value, I mean, sharing and organizing LEGO sounds fun but do we really need another platform for that, what makes it so special, hope you guys have thought this through, looking forward to see how the community reacts.
@ingaecochief hey there! I honestly believe there isn’t a platform like this currently - geared toward mobile users.
There are tons of websites around LEGO and collecting / but nothing that aims to be a network or community with these features. Yes - you can join a Facebook group and talk about LEGO - but all the features in the app are geared toward the LEGO experienced which I think adds value.
Hey, Aarchi here, I really like the idea of bringing LEGO enthusiasts together, but I'm curious, how do you plan to make the discovery feature stand out when there are already similar apps out there, the community aspect sounds cool but what's gonna keep people engaged in discussions beyond just showing off their collections? Maybe consider integrating some kind of building challenge or collaboration feature, just a thought since that could really bring people together in a more interactive way, looking forward to seeing how this evolves
@aarchitechgeeks we have challenge and badges to earn in the app under the explore tab. You can join and earn rewards for earning new achievements for certain themes or piece count!
Interesting new feature though does it really make sense to add a paid subscription for what's essentially a hobby app, curious to see how many people will actually use the Discussions part it could also use a better way to find local events and meetups maybe focus on that instead
@b2bbooster brickd aims to allow you have a social network around LEGO - and those features are unique to the service.
Other platforms don’t have the vast LEGO database, recommendations, piece count and sticker information - also where it but it - all in a mobile friendly package. 😅
Cool feature with the Discussions part but do you really think adding a subscription is the best move, aren't most people just gonna stick with the free version anyway, and what's the plan for making sure these discussions don't turn into spam zones or just irrelevant posts? Also any chance we could see some sort of visual customization for collections, that would be interesting.
So now you want us to pay for features huh, not sure about this 'discussions' thing, feels like just another way to waste time online and you really think we need to pay extra for it, I expected better from you guys
@comedycreator247 you don’t need to pay extra for discussions - it’s free.
The premium part of brickd is an optional part for he app that gives you more features.
Discussions is an another way to use the app to talk and engage with you aren’t building LEGO. I hope that isn’t a waste of time you like LEGO! All good times are to be done in moderation 😀
I gotta be honest, the new Discussions feature sounds cool but I feel like it's more of a distraction than a useful tool, have you considered focusing more on functionality rather than adding social aspects, and maybe the paid subscription could use more clarity on its benefits, what do others think?
While the new Discussions feature sounds handy I kinda wonder if it'll just turn into another social media rabbit hole also the brick Builder subscription feels like it's locking useful features behind a paywall, any plans to add more free features for users who can't or don't want to pay, curious on how you'll balance that
