I’m bullish on FC because people can build on the graph without permission. A Twitter alternative is a very good seed (if not the best), but IMO what will bring the next 100k users is a cultural experience they cannot get elsewhere. This might be a few web2 derivative apps, but more likely, a novel web3 one.

If you believe this (I also do) then WC is basically the onboarding stage for whatever the next novel app is. Building clients shouldn’t try to compete with WC but instead leverage it’s reach and community factors

well, right now there are basically three ways to get discovered ... 
1) a user have to somehow end up here

2) get your app recasted by one of the farcasters with >7000 followers
3) find your way onto highlights
the WC onboarding funnel isn't very optimized for app discovery...

im saying this from a user journey perspective

all three of these user journeys are convoluted, most new users who join won’t end up at jam/discove/etc.

regarding number 2, from this distribution, a user is more likely to end up back on twitter (or clubhouse) then one of the app building on FC

1) just need to submit a PR to get added to that list. super simple
2) dwr often puts out a PSA to send him work and he’ll recast/cast about it
3) not sure what highlights means exactly but WC is full of people talking nonstop about different apps being built. that’s what I mean by community
