An update on protocol priorities going into 2025. 

We think a lot of interesting things are going to be built onchain soon. Farcaster should be the programmable and credibly neutral social network that brings users, developers and blockchains together. 

But what does this mean tangibly?

just realized this thread omits the concept of channels entirely…

New on Warpcast: channel tabs

The home screen now has tabs for your channels

Which channels will appear at tabs?
- Channels that will appear as tabs
    - favorited channels
    - channels where you are a member

How does tab ordering work?
    - 1st tab — will always be Home, not customizable
    - 2nd tab — will always be your top favorited channel, customizable
    - 3 through 15 — algorithm based on unread status

How many channel tabs?
- Limited to 15 tabs

How do I favorite a channel?
- Favorite channels on channel pages, your list of favorite channels will appear in the side menu

How do I manage my favorites?
- Re-order your favorites in the side menu via drag and drop. The channel at the top of your favorites will be the 2nd tab.

Channels are in a stable enough spot right now. Still have some iteration to do. But I don't think of them as a core developer lego quite yet (relative to all of the other priorities).

Honestly, it fully makes sense - it's just that as someone with limited time/resources I'm reading every microsignal I can to try and weigh what to spend more energy on and channels is one of my big question marks. 

I appreciate the better discovery tabs in warpcast and generally remain hopeful for the ecosystem!

no hate to warpcast, but for /okbanger we have to decide basically now whether we want to gamble on channels, lean into a subreddit, or build a discord

we don’t have the capacity for more than one so it’s super salient to our decision making rn

be excellent to each other. in the channels you're passionate about

no better way to make channels ready for adoption into the proto
