Making Farcaster useful Imagine each NFT community had a group of mods. And when those mods like your post, you get a custom NFT. Now each community can optimize a different metric besides popularity! For example, in a proof-of-workout community you must post workout selfies to earn workout credit NFTs. @dwr.eth @v

👋 @balajis.eth i love this sort of thinking, here's what i think is limiting if you see the two images attached, today development goes from protocol to manifestation in clients what's needed is robust ecosystem of middleware that devs can plug-play for use cases app devs can't build middle on their own cc @dwr.eth @v

Yes, but as they build apps like this then they can expose middleware APIs that others can repurpose. Like Microsoft building Word, Excel, PowerPoint on top of Windows. They didn’t just come up with Windows APIs in the abstract, they built full products on top of Windows and then let devs use the corresponding APIs.

Is there an argument for why some things should be middleware rather than baked into the protocol? Or is it just a matter of bandwidth (ie, indie devs can build all the middleware rather than wait for the Farcaster team to ship non-priority features)?
