Shashank on Warpcast

Jacob pfp

a lot of people on farcaster are building for themselves first it may not be the best founder strategy, but i think it's the best strategy to build an awesome app that other people will love to use, too this is how @atlas has been built for the last ~year, and it's still not launched yet lol ?8^)

good q, long story.... part of it is not really knowing what to build, and another part is just iterating on ideas and not getting much traction a ~year ago @shoni.eth and i built @atlas as a cast+reply summary bot, and i thought it was really great but it didn't get many users then @0xconca.eth and i started building it as an app on telegram, which i also think is great, and we still use it today! ~7 months ago, i started taking coding lessons from @0xconca.eth so i could be more involved in developing the project, and am just now getting to the point where i can actually contribute by styling components so it's been a fun journey, and fortunately there's been no time pressure, just a fun async passion project to learn about farcaster + coding + ai now it's turning into something really cool, imo, and it should be ready to launch v soon and i can proudly say that i wrote ~90% of the frontend code myself when i didn't know how to write a single line of code ~7 months ago ?8^)

lots of good products are made when builders build it for themselves. but shipping in public with real users gives you fresh perspective recommend launching early as there's not a ton to loose

ofc! there are people using it now, and i've also shared screenshots and videos of the current development status but the goal is to ship something that works and that's only a recent development lol and i'll be happy w it whether or not it gets traction ?8^)
