Warpcast

if anybody was experiencing a pesky bug where they had to kill/restart the mobile app to clear the notif badge after opening a DC thread, it should be fixed now.

let me know if you're seeing any issues with the notif badge!

so I'm an amateur baby DJ and my transitions need some work BUT

wanted to get myself out there a little bit

the cast composer now supports saving a thread as a draft!

this caps my recent work on cast composer improvements. def let me know if anybody is seeing issues with it

"Figures compiled by the nonprofit College Board indicate the average student attending an in-state public university this year faces a tuition bill of $11,610, which is down 4% from a decade earlier when taking inflation into account. But the real savings come in what the average student actually pays after getting grants and financial aid. That’s down 40% over the decade, from $4,140 to $2,480 annually, according to the data."

pretty surprising!

My team launched our first live service today: a service that creates Merkle-Patrica Trie account inclusion proofs for Ethereum along with every block, using Binius.

Currently it's still a proof-of-concept, but one day soon this approach will bring fast stateless clients to Ethereum!

Snow

my new lightweight touring setup - Atomic Backlands with ATK Freeraider bindings

prior to this had been touring on Faction Dictators… really good for dealing with choppy snow, but a lot of work uphill

React Native

ffmpeg-kit getting deprecated with very short notice: https://github.com/arthenica/ffmpeg-kit

is anybody aware of an alternative?

reverting this for now as it's causing a couple regressions. will have a fix out soon!

aaaaand we're back!! cast thread support on the web cast composer is live again

just shipped cast threads in the web cast composer!!

been getting more into touring. skied Husume Couloir in Whistler earlier this week!

Oh gotcha. I may be in a minority, but I never do threads from mobile - I have to run them through compliance, which means I'm usually copy & pasting from a google doc

The app just crashed (as it does frequently for me) and I was so happy when I found that the draft of the cast I was writing got auto saved 🥹

When was this lovely feature implemented? I'm so used to paranoidly saving every cast into drafts that I just noticed it.

Warpcast on mobile now auto-saves cast drafts!

so if the app crashes, or eg. you open a notif and it navigates away from the cast composer, your draft should be preserved

excited to announce that I’m joining Merkle to work on DCs!

fc-updates

These past couple of weeks I've been focused on making the Warpcast app feel faster.

There is still more room for improvement but I'm happy to say that we've been able to move the needle.

We did this by:
- parallelizing more requests in the background
- tweaking when we issue certain requests
- lazy loading data into lists
- lazy loading large resources such as videos

We can already see improvements in some charts that haven't been easy to move before.

I'm particularly happy that my Android feed loads much better as seen in the before and after videos in the replies.

Please let me know if you see improvements and especially if you encounter any issues.

good perf in React Native doesn’t come for free. this is cool work!!

privacy

what if all privacy-related channels were organized into a single community? 👀
