Show HN: Briquette, a Mac OS X client for 37signal's Campfire app

13 pointsby brettbenderalmost 14 years ago
Hey all,<p>We just pushed a new update to the Mac App Store for our Campfire client. Mainly bug fixes, performance enhancements, and support for foreign encoding. We're always looking for suggestions for further improvements and constructive feedback, so if you use Campfire, give it a shot and let us know what you think!<p>http://briquetteapp.com/<p>http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/briquette/id413619425?mt=12&#38;ls=1<p>It's $4.99 (USD) via the App Store, but if you see this early enough, here's a few promo codes:<p>MA7LMP9KNLRK<p>WWMNL7TTPE4X<p>AARE49946X4N<p>T97N7W9K7FWF<p>A34JFRJWK4TM<p>Thanks!

How does this compare to Propane? Propane has a Cocoa + embedded Webkit view, like this app. It supports Growl. It supports multiple Campfire sites. It has configurable message alerts. It supports drag-into-window image uploads. It does not, from what I can tell, support "replying to users" (but then neither does Campfire). It's more expensive ($20), but if you use Campfire regularly, $20 is still below the noise threshold on cost, and if you don't use Campfire regularly, $4.99 is a lot to spend for a niche chat client.<p>I'm assuming there's a direction you want to take this app that is different from the direction Propane is already taking, and I'm curious about what that might be.

I didn't get the nab one of the promo codes, but I figure I will check it out a little later - our office uses Propane and we don't really have any gripes with it.<p>Curious: what sort of frustrations did the Propane user experience really offer?

Thanks for the chance to try your app. Right off, I love it's look and simplicity. I will use it for the next several days and be thoughtful in the review.
