My home feed is trash. Following feed is bad too. Maybe time for a prune because I feel less motivated to post on FC because scrolling feels bad right now. I like the way @adrienne is experimenting and might try some things too.

Introducing RSSemble (pronounced R Assemble) - a collaborative RSS feed for Farcaster. All feed URLs are added onchain and read from onchain. They are mapped to the blog owner’s FID. Anyone can add a feed. Anyone can access the feeds added by the community. If you click the bell icon and install the frame, you’ll get notifications each time any blog in the feed gets a new post. This is V1 and there are a lot of improvements I want to make. Let me know what you think! Seeded with feeds from @dwr.eth, @stevedylandev, @joanwestenberg.eth, and @yb https://warpcast.com/miniapps/9j4yIs3n9GCD/rssemble

I finally built a V2 frame! It uses AI personas generated from the profiles and 5 casts from the top-100 people on Warpcast rewards each week. When you submit your proposed cast, it will run the cast by each AI persona to get a rating. https://banger.management

So far, Farcaster has been the best distribution channel for https://orbiter.host I think all but one of our sites have directly come from people seeing @stevedylandev’s and my posts on Farcaster.

Our newest IPFS Gateway plugin just went live! 🎉 Hot Swaps allows developers to map IPFS CIDs to new content. This is useful when you want to maintain a single gateway URL while updating content. We're making IPFS content mutable when this plugin is installed. Read more here: https://pinata.cloud/blog/introducing-hot-swaps-the-easiest-way-to-make-ipfs-content-mutable/

Many of you have heard about, been following along, and participating in the discussion around FIP171 (the long cast proposal). I felt like the proposal was pretty solid as is, so I wanted to see what it was like to build a client with it. Instead, I built 3 in one app 😂 https://www.fip171.com/ cc @vrypan.eth

You want sufficiently decentralized long casts and other rich media support? @vrypan.eth's proposal has it covered. As it stands now, the proposal doesn't require changes to the actual protocol but requires standards consensus. Weigh in https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/171#discussioncomment-9543139

We're excited to announce what feels like such an obvious partnership to us. Pinata is now working with @neynar to help handle our Farcaster APIs and infrastructure! They'll also be helping Farcaster devs get onboarded to IPFS through us. Read more here: https://www.pinata.cloud/blog/pinata-partners-with-neynar

If you're a paying Pinata customer and you build frames, respond to this message or send me a direct cast. I have questions. So many questions. But for real, I want to chat about some ideas.

This is a project I first started thinking about more than 2 years ago. We finally prioritized it recently and got it across the finish line. We are the first and only IPFS provider to give you this level of detail and analytics into how your gateway is being used. https://www.pinata.cloud/blog/introducing-analytics

Pinata is hiring a full-time staff level engineer. Requirements: - Based in the US or Canada - 5+ years exp writing code for fast-moving startups - Experience with Node.js and Go - Bonus: exp building products for developers DM @elise9 if you qualify.

Weird day for a big (REAL) announcement, but we ship no matter the day. Announcing Pinata's new Farcaster Auth service. This makes it easy for developers to build auth into their apps. We're supporting two flows, Managed and Sponsored. Learn more here: https://www.pinata.cloud/blog/introducing-farcaster-auth

There were 75 submissions in the ETHGlobal Frameworks hackathon that used Pinata. Really creative uses too. Bullish on the future of Farcaster development.

New button spacing like boys and girls at a middle school dance.

Introducing Swooop, a channel-first native iOS client for Farcaster. Built by @paigexx, @marjorie, @stevedylandev, and myself at ETHDenver as a Swift reference client for iOS developers. We're open sourcing the code today for anyone interested.

It's not quite March Madness, but we couldn't wait. Let's play basketball. 🏀 Choose your team, try to shoot as close to 3 seconds as you can. Game resets every hour. Team options are: @adrienne, @woj, @df, and @alvesjtiago.eth https://www.pinatadrops.com/apps/basketball

What was your first experience that made you realize, if you’ve ever realized it, that a lot of blockchain/web3/crypto was a scam?

I've been impressed with the work @jacob and the @zora team have done, so I'm trying something new. I'm going to be releasing the short story collection that I had published in 2020 as individual mints on Zora. Here's the first one. https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x4afdf10f48829cbc90f6820cdc3c6ef1fac92238/premint-1
