🌶️ 🌶️ Warpcast and Jam now offer 2 alternative yet compelling Farcaster user experiences - Wc is better suited for longtime users and members of clubs like Purple, attendees of Farcon - Jam is better suited for new users, with better/more discovery and search @v @dwr.eth would be great... longcast.jam.so/jjmnto

Our top priority is 100% permissionless protocol and we pushing to get there as soon as possible. At that point, new users can start with Jam or any app. Agree we can improve the farcaster.xyz homepage to be more about discovery.

And you can actively promote the apps/devs building on the protocol

I think the team has been very good about promoting 3rd party apps - and the nature of this being a social app is that 3rd party apps can get distribution. I think the harsh truth here is that Warpcast is really great and the revealed preference of most users is to use it over Discove & Jam as a result.

hot take but I think it would be more compelling if the users of Jam promoted Jam rather than the founders of Farcaster. User testimonials >>>

@goki
would you say that jam can take charge of its own growth (independent of wc) once signups are permissionless?

I'm with @dwr.eth here. Saying "And..[anything]" implies that the team would have to redirect resources from the stated top priority which is 100% permissionless protocol. After it's permissionless, what's preventing Jam from becoming the default top of funnel (instead of Warpcast)?
