Farcaster Devs

Wrote this open-source web reimplementation of web Warpcast.
Still, many features are missing, will write an article( about ~3 years' worth of FC UX) and will add other features later.

But it has basic support for:
Multi-account
Log in with an external wallet 
Sign up with an external wallet
Animated avatars
Casting 
Direct casting 
Bookmarks 
Mini Apps
Minimized Mini Apps
Commit attestation so you can 100% match the source code

Planning to add much more stuff, although I'll not implement the 500+ endpoints that Warpcast now has, aiming to implement around 300

Just made the source public a few minutes ago.

No backend, uses warpcast api.warpcast.com ( that was supposed to be public per docs)

Is using Netlify proxy to bypass CORS, imo since rate limits are per users, CORS should be enabled for projects like this to work without a proxy. 

Without a proxy, it can scale indefinitely since 100/100 of the code is client-side, and all users are tethered to warpcast, so basically is just a UI.

If the warpcast API dies, this UI dies.

But still, such UI is large. The amount of code to implement for most of the APIs is significant; a project like this has a lot of frontend code.

Main idea is that this UI offers some features that are possible with Warpcast backend, but Warpcast doesn't offer them like, sign-up/login with a wallet directly. 

Most of the code was written in 2 batches of 2 weeks. Giving a month or so, I can add most of what Warpcast provides. 

Don't need any access to source code or anything because you can just write your own FE implementation out of endpoints.

Wow incredible. Does this use neynar or did you also build the backend/indexing infra?

haha great!

I have a domain called farpcast.com 

can redirect to yours😅

Building /recaster and other farcaster tools

That sounds great. 

For canonical SEO, it's great to have a single domain, but any redirect is a plus.

I bought the domain for 1 year to see how it goes, it was 1.83 USD😅 .

very nice, congrats on shipping and open sourcing this! I always appreciate your critiques even when we disagree and it's great to see your opinionated take on a client.
