GM Farcaster ep255 Friday June 6, 2025

Power washing Adirondack chairs tonight :) This was so satisfying!

ok today went better than I expected

everyone on x rn

just saw the president, he seemed distracted

Crypto IPO market looks very hot Circle shot up 3x on listing after debuting at $31/share, currently sitting just over $18B market cap The P/E ratio according to their 2024 earnings is around 115 right now For comparison, Nvidia’s P/E ratio in Spring 2023 hovered around the same level with the AI boom

PSA if you want someone to leave a group chat you can just ASK instead of kicking them🙄 fc needs more beef??? well alright then let’s dance @adrienne @nounishprof

If you want to make sure your mini app gets visibility in Coinbase Wallet. Ensure your mainfest is properly set up here: https://farcaster.xyz/~/developers/mini-apps/manifest Some of the biggest apps do not have this set up. Most important ones to fill out: - primaryCategory - ogTitle, ogDescription and ogImageUrl - subtitle , description and tagline - heroImageUrl Please double check now!!

suited up

GM! We've been having trouble with our hypersub group chat -- it keeps kicking people out when doing the nft checker so I turned off that function but it is still token gated to those holding our hypersub token. So I added everyone back in that I could if I had your FC name. I may have missed some so please rejoin here. Sorry for the craziness -- it just kept auto-kicking everyone. https://farcaster.xyz/~/group/Xo1QRBIpNi41sLfj06_hAw

🔙 New Mini App API for Back Navigation - 1-line integration for standard web apps - custom integration available for advanced use cases - back control will vary depending on platform; web is button, iOS is a swipe left, Android is native back control (swipe and/or hardware / virtual button) simple yet powerful https://miniapps.farcaster.xyz/docs/sdk/back

Continuing to make notifications better for mini app developers You can now create "notification campaigns" the dev portal and see metrics like - delivery rate - open rate - unique opens Using "open rate" as a way to iterate on notification styles can significantly improve app performance over time - the higher the % of users clicking your notifications, the better your app performs overall h/t @veganbeef for the work, reach out with any questions 🪐 (tutorial on how to set up notifications in reply)

Um someone just DCed me their passport photo unprompted, please don't do that I'm not verifying your KYC

“Because I take Kant really fucking seriously” was my favorite line and I immediately thought of @tldr lol

was wondering why i didn't see anything about mountainhead on the timeline here, but a quick search reveals: 1. farcasters did, in fact, cast about it 2. and it seems like most people had high expectations that weren't met 3. but i still can't decide whether it is worth the watch or not anybody else watch it?

Official Channels Day is on June 7, 2025 What does this mean? Channels were launched on June 7, 2023 and quickly became cozy corners for creators, curators and communities to connect and grow on Farcaster. Celebrate with us! If you're a channel owner, quote cast this post with a note about why you started your channel. How is it meaningful to you? And don't forget to celebrate your active members by tagging the top contributors and letting them know how they help make your cozy corner better. If you don't own a channel, or are simply a fan of channels, quote cast this post, tag your top three channels, and share why they’re important to you. How do they make the Internet (or Farcaster) a better place for you? Don't forget to join us for the Official Channels Day—Launch Party on Friday, June 6th starting at 8am PDT RSVP in comments below

overwhelming feedback from new users is that the content on farcaster is often too farcaster-centric. sharing a few topics i would love to read more on farcaster (and please lmk if any of these are in your wheelhouse bc i would love to help amplify!): 1. popular culture! trend analyses and insights on culture (and not crypto culture). tell us what do gen z and gen alpha (and sure, millennial) consumers care about. i know "men in tech" may not care about this, but plenty of women *do* and there's a lot of us here! 2. start ups! tell us which startups are hitting milestones, getting funding, growing exponentially — and tell us whether you think they are worthwhile businesses or not. 3. data-centric information about technology, the economy, psychology, and everyday life. i love seeing data visualizations behind things that we know and love. 4. more SCIENCE! tell us how pigs could solve the organ donor crisis or why sunshine is good for the immune system. anything! what do you want to read more of here?

Two years ago, Farcaster had just 2,000 weekly active users I made a piece with /purple to mark that moment Today, I’m dropping the Pro upgrade - all 10k Pros + the FC team ⚡ FREE SD mint (24px PFPs) — just like this cast 🔥 Limited HD edition (96px PFPs) — premium artefact ⏳ Open for 48 hours I give you WeCastPro https://mint-frame-we-cast-pro.vercel.app
