“Why is the feed just @ted when I scroll?!” As much as we love @ted — tomorrow, we’re fixing the feed and making anyone be able to be discovered on Drakula. We’re also airdropping 1M $DEGEN from our Creator Fund tomorrow, too. ♥️ Drakula.app 🧛

commerce in frames is gonna be pretty janky until we support the almighty dropdown input field 😩 (it's still gonna be janky after that, but at least we'll be able to use the buttons for something more useful lol) 🫡

Well this frame is cool! I had no idea the level of tips from y'all! Big thanks to my tippers! 💜 @sum @kugusha.eth @symbiotech @links @bixbite @joely.eth @artlu @ted @zahoorahmed @notdevin.eth

the database behind the sql playground came back online about an hour ago, which finally brings back the final missing piece shoutout to @manan for firefighting today (yes at one point I actually made things worse while trying to fix them, I blame 3 hours of sleep 🤦🏽‍♂️) 🪐

i'm so out of loop that i have no idea what @dwr.eth is trying to show here

Work in progress — the challenge with scaling quality in channels in a permissionless way. Pick 2.

A key hub metric we are laser focussed on improving is sync health. We have about 800-1000 running hubs at any given time. Sync health is the % of these hubs that are fully caught up with the network. Our goal is to get to 99% sync health, and @wazzymandias.eth is leading this effort.

Hubs are now up to 14% Rust. @adityapk @sanjay and @wazzymandias.eth have moved all our hot code paths to Rust. Focus is now on improving sync and p2p until we can comfortably support 500k DAU.

@slowcrypto dreamt up some DOPE swag and we want YOUR help in designing it!! reply below with your fav FC-native memes / art the most liked replies by FarSquad members will get designed in (thanks to @seneca + rounds.wtf + @partydao) my votes: farcasting / @dwr.eth, superkiwification / @timdaub.eth, warped / @0xen

Calling for self-awareness with tipping contests - reminder: you don't have to run a contest to support artists - too many contests dilute the impact of unique content - if you're running a contest, consider ways to make it valuable: ask a thoughtful question & reward the best answers, give a specific topi, etc
