Recaster

feels: so fking defeated rn

my old frames are half-dead on Warpcast with "couldn't be loaded" images, but appear 💯 fine on /recaster .

I fight linkrot / decay with every fibre of my hacker soul, going back to my early training in writing code for the International Space Station (it's still up there in space orbit), to making an archival tool my first Farcaster project, to SassyHash which was built difficult-ly in order to be able to survive any attack and live forever

The Once and Future /arthur /bcbhshow. FOSS at GH:artlu99.

PFP is my Native.fun Print, genart unique hash of wallet txns

yea caching is hard

but for 100k total users and maybe 500 views for my frames, WHY BUILD FRAGILE UI TO LET YOUR USERS' BABIES ROT, WaRpCaST GODS

my interstitials are intercepted on your servers and a deadpic is shown to 99% of users

most hobbyist devs are locked into using on-the-fly OG images generated by low-cost serverless processes with high cold-start on low-usage functions

@warpcastadmin.eth was just ahead of his time.

it really is

to clarify: if i want to build something for farcaster today, the chances of it working without my intervention in 2-3 months are close to 0%

it is exhausting and doesn't allow for supporting multiple small tools

eventually this will lead to an army of dead products that are no longer supported and this will not look good from any point of view

iterating is good

breaking changes every few months are not
