Farcaster Devs

Is there a way for a client to tag a cast with a flag that prevents other clients from indexing the cast?

Eg. say I'm building Hypercast, and I only want Hypercast to show certain casts. Right now, if a user makes a cast, and it gets sent to hubs, all clients will show this cast by default. Is there an alternative?

SassyHash 💅 was born for this, ser.

- everyone can see the encoded text
- mute words for clients/users to opt to not see it
- decode perms based on channel membership
- a client or frame v2 can decode and display natively in-feed (The BCBHShow Lite Client does this)

(mute the phrase '!sassy1' to stop seeing SassyHash 💅 in your feed)

wait for the protocol to tack on app-namespaces (a kind of sharding imo)

Tako app's idea of enabling ultra-long casts (up to 10,000 characters) is absolutely brilliant. It achieves this by storing long texts on IPFS, generating an IPFS link, and embedding the link in a cast.

since the embedded IPFS URL is stored at the protocol level within the hub, other clients only need to resolve the IPFS link to display the long text. actually you could even build a blogging app based on the Farcaster protocol, as it supports embedding two URLs, providing good extensibility.

here's a slightly different approach (described by @0xluo.eth but invented/implemented by @tako )

hypercast

how about layering SassyHash with casting to a set of parentUrls (each a channel) specific to your client? e.g.,

/hypercast 
/hc-subscribers
/hc-alpha
/hc-hot-singles-in-your-area

if it becomes unappealing for other clients to display your content to their users, they should incorporate choices + defaults to serve their users in a vibrant, diverse ecosystem

This is a clever hack, but what if I don’t want to pollute people’s feeds with random hashes?
