sadly we had to roll back the new arch in the Farcaster app we ended up with a lot of perf, memory, and UX regressions even after a week or trying to squash them working with the Expo team to try to get things to a better place https://farcaster.xyz/ashoat.eth/0x2157ccc0

wow wtf NYT lawyers had an unsubstantiated hunch that people circumvent their paywall via ChatGPT and then delete history to cover their tracks and so the judge decided to prevent OpenAI from deleting data when a user deletes history hunch is obviously ridiculous, there are many better ways to circumvent a paywall

I'm working on a proposal for a "capabilities" API that allows Mini Apps to declare which capabilities/chains they require, as well as querying at runtime to discover which capabilities/chains are supported. Would appreciate any input! https://github.com/farcasterxyz/miniapps/discussions/256
