This is great! I think exchanging voice messages with friends is way more social than broadcasting an Instagram post. I can see this really picking up esp now that everyone is always plugged in with AirPods. Well done!

Really easy to use and light weight UX design. A great innovation to the regular way of chatting with your friends and family. Brb really bridges the emotional gap that texting seems to lack these days. Also great name choice, really fits in. “See ya. Brb me”. Wholesome experience would recommend :)

I would say this is Epic! I've never saw this app or even experienced something like it. Nice UX and clean UI. This is awesome. Would recommend! I just wonder what technology they've used to make this happen :)

@ucefkh I love the branding and visual design, but I would argue that voice messaging is common in almost any communication app. Messenger, Whatsapp, Apple Messages, Telegram, etc... In those cases it's an option, not the default. I've read that audio messages have exceeded text messages in some other countries though, so it's not uncommon. Oh, there's stuff like Viber that does exactly this. That was popular a few years ago right? What I'm curious to discover while using BRB is how it does this better or how it stands out in some way from all the other apps. I guess it would force my friends to reply with audio instead of texting me back? Currently (and maybe this is just me) I don't have most of my friends on Snapchat :/

@ucefkh @robrogan That's literally what we've found in testing this haha. If you give people the option to text back, they will just be lazy and do that. We feel pretty strongly about voice first and voice only to enforce that relationship building that only voice provides.

A year ago our team at SoFriendly launched Yelling Across Cubicles for the first ever Makers Festival. After the reaction from the community, we decided to go all in on Yac. We’ve raised over $1 Million from investors such as Betaworks and Active Capital and came back with another app for this years Snapkit Makers Festival. Yac was built for remote teams but we found we loved messaging our friends and loved ones over Yac too. With the nudge from PH and Snap, we built Brb using everything we learned building Yac. Brb is a fun way to meet new people, share stories with friends, or just stay in touch with someone on a more personal level than text allows for. Hope everyone loves Brb and make sure to watch the rad video @emiliowav made for our launch.

I love the asynchronous and sometimes nearly-live back and forth that you get with Marco Polo. This feels very similar, but more elegant. Hope that it catches on!

@robrogan We hear from a lot of Marco Polo users that they love the voice only aspect of this!

I personally have had a lot of fun with the app. I am starting to branch off and talk to random people who are on the app currently to expand my network :) I appreciate the simplistic and easy to use UI.

I'm super excited about voice first and voice only social experiences. BRB is one of the best executions so far. 🚀
