GM Farcaster Ep141 Monday August 12, 2024 with guest cohost @dawufi

Spent the past 2 hours responding to Bountycaster questions. To keep things manageable for me, I need to add a hard stop on time answering questions to 10 min total for each post (this was my norm before Moxie meta). Prioritizing most frequently asked questions and from active Bountycaster users going forward 🙏

And let's meet up for coffee the next morning. See you soon!

We're excited to see a lot of you in Toronto this week. Stop by and say hi at happy hour Tuesday!

I actually like that there’s no beef on Warpcast; the people are much more civilized. The conflict-driven engagement model of other social media platforms had a profoundly negative social effect. It’s more constructive to incentivize people to converse with respect while steering clear of meltdowns and dunking.

Amazing! Thanks Title IX! 🥇 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/world-beaters-women-athletes-ruled-olympics-rcna166149

clearly a trap

Lower priority feature requests - Pinned casts on profiles - Edit casts - Animated PFPs All are nice to have features but don’t solve an immediate top priority

Just found out my Farcaster personality—what do you think? Check yours next!

If you're having issues with the latest mobile app version (action buttons, recast, or other prompts not responding), can you share your device, OS, and app version? Trying to track this down. (You can DM too).

The perils of Warpcast this month...

Trying a new policy Replying to every cast of mine with mid replies will earn you a mute. Best part is you won’t know if you’re muted. So be thoughtful (or at least funny).

For developers Looking for feedback on Sign in with Farcaster. Besides support for other clients like Supercast and Herocast, what’s the biggest pain point? What’s confusing? What do you wish existed? The more specific, the better.

Update - we’ve had a bunch of submissions already! - team is taking some well-deserved time off this weekend - we will start going through the submissions on Monday - depending on sustained interest, we will automate more of the process and use the app / DCs vs. external form - aware that form asks for 3 images and we only have one. Will fix later today.

introducing Stories - a farcaster-native stories app - each post expires after 24 hours - composer action for posting new stories (in review) - frames for viewing stories (see below) - sign in with farcaster on stories.steer.fun for same functionality as composer action planned: - basic editing tools - standalone (probably native) app easier browsing stories of the people you follow it's 3am and claude has been carrying me hard to get this over the line today 😮‍💨 https://stories.steer.fun/frames/stories/stephancill

Introducing Explore - A new way to discover apps, actions and frames on Farcaster - Learn more about apps that use Sign in with Farcaster - Quick access to actions and frames - Begin by tapping on the globe icon (where trending was) - Live on mobile, coming soon to web - Developers can submit their app to be listed

Bluesky has more users than Farcaster and is also sufficiently decentralized. What is the best argument for why devs should build on Farcaster instead of Bluesky?
