- hi - how ai has changed my work - usual suspects > lovable > claude - lovable work samples (farcaster-xyz, sidebar, snap editor, client prototype) - lovable can't do it all (framer animations) - neynar-com - right tool for the job (eg figma graphics) - ai can't do it all, but it can do a lot (live client) - thx
Shiny new sidebar! - new place for user pfp (used to be a generic "Profile" tab) - new "Saved" tab (Bookmarks, Starter packs) - new link to Studio - new Updates tab - better transition between breakpoints - mobile now has dropdown navigation and search pixels by /red code by @arpita-205
This is not a drill Starting this Friday @ 2pm GMT, I'll be roasting mini apps live on stream RSVP on https://luma.com/o6b8znir /red lives
The ongoing follower purge is a real problem - and @jvaleska.eth @katekornish make valid points that it "feels bad", but I want to make a different point (hence the QC): it's a problem because it kinda makes the number of followers useless as a metric I currently have 56K followers but 126K at the protocol level, over 2x as many (you can check yours on explorer.neynar.com) Sure, social algos are always a bit of a black box, it's best to decouple input from output, yada yada - but how can I possibly gauge my progress if appear to be losing thousands of followers per week without a real reason? How do I know if I am actually losing followers or how many? A few people made very cool growth dashboards (@tanishq and @fun come to mind) but what good are those if the numbers are unreliable or meaningless? I understand this is a hard problem and the team is surely working on it, but I still wanted to give my 2 cents especially since I've recently started focusing a lot more on X and their approach is different. Spam and bots are a big problem there too, but they have not purged followers. Two last points: - The follower purge was announced (good) but, unless I'm wrong, it was supposed to be a one-off event. If purging has become an announced + ongoing process, that's not good - Could the purge have been voluntary? Could it be an option going forward? PS When I looked at Twitter again after years, I read a few articles and one suggestion was to manually purge "irrelevant" or inactive followers (you can actually Remove a follower without blocking / muting them) in order to get a more realistic follower count. I did that, went from ~300 to ~150 followers and now I'm over ~1k but it's an accurate number. I'm watching it closely and I can tell when strategy is falling flat or making people unfollow me. @neynar what are your thoughts on this?
/red & /vocdoni are working on something new it's an exciting project and a product the world really needs, so I'm thankul to @ferran for the opportunity also huge shoutout to @phil & @ampsfun, because this particular gig happened through my pinned (amped) cast
About to start working on a landing page for /nfs and I realised the featurelist is massive: - 0 code - remix frames - gifs - upload or link pics - built-in image compression - text input - frameception - mint with warps - unlimited pages - analytics - slideshow (auto-linking, drag-and-drop reordering) - easy AR switch ( 1:1 <> 1.91:1 ) - new UI @dylsteck.eth is cooking We don't do a good enough job of talking about this!
having gone through the thought process of explaining Farcaster to normies a few times, I think best explanation is that Farcaster is like the Matrix it must be experienced
