Design

gm, thinking aloud about the design channel

We need to invite designers from design twitter, but most: 

1 - don't have a wallet
2 - don't want to be the first (worry about wasting time on another BlueSky)
3 - don't know what to do after they joined

The fun, simple, & secure way to explore web3, NFTs, and Ethereum 🌈  We’ve moved accounts to @rainbow! 

The site will show the PFPs of people who already joined, which should help with 2

All done manually for now

Finally, about 3, can't force people to post but there's an easy solution: 

AMAs 

> We ask them when they can do it, they write a short intro cast including 2 images, I announce it here 24 hrs in advance
> ???
> Profit

PS if you (or people you know!) are on Farcaster or have a wallet already, let's get those AMAs lined up!!

hmu if you need invites

Solution to 1 & 2:

Make a simple (well designed, because we're all snobs) site telling them 

- what farcaster is
- how to join
- how to get a wallet (@mikedemarais.eth @rainbowdotme obvs I'll be telling people to get 🌈 so any amplification will be much appreciated)

Yes!

I was thinking about sharing a Figma file, but one open-ended file in my experience becomes sprawling and unusable

I like the x.com/miggi approach (educator designer advocate @figma):

24-hour open sessions on a FigJam file where everybody can view & edit, no account required

Maybe one per AMA?

I really like the website idea, where we can post about Farcaster and contributions made by the Design community. Maybe we can create a shared Figma file and start working on it. 

I'm up! 🫡

Also 4 - hate / distrust anything to do with crypto

These are the same three problems facing adoption of basically every crypto-based product out there. You solve this, you’ve unlocked something larger than the design channel. 💪

we can help with that "wasting time" feeling! we put Farcaster, Twitter, and more in one app so it's easier to keep up
