Farcaster

the hardest part of building a farcaster client so far has been the volume of ecosystem changes

farcaster in 2023:
- decentralized twitter!
- thin layer of a protocol, feel free to build whatever experience you want
- we will decentralize everything soon

farcaster in 2024:
- frames
- cast actions
- power badge / priority mode
- channels
- composer actions
- actually, fuck power badge
- moxie / degen / 20x of random "hey what about you integrate our random sdk"
- streaks
- ok supercast has signups, cool, but its not on mobile so it cant be added to siwf
- ok we now have dms but only in one client so your customers will be angry that your client can't use these dms

not a rant just an observation

you need to adjust the perspective and the roadmap every month to survive here

really appreciate every single supercast subscriber who allows me to keep working on a farcaster client without any idea where this will go

honestly man gg for sticking through it

I tried to keep up with the fc dev meta but straight up had to change course bc it was too much work + not worth the trouble to keep adjusting

Why are Farcaster builders so optimistic when X, Y, and Z bad things exist?

My brother, bad is the default. 

It’s entropy.

Failure is the most likely outcome when building something new.

If you’re not a definite optimist, you’ve got no chance in making it happen. 

Even if you’re a rational person, you have to be willing to suspend belief just enough to make the bet despite all the bad.

And then it’s just week of week progress and try not to die (mostly figuratively). For years.

yeah looking at past year it's been a wild ride

this post really well describes the attitude that you need to have https://www.supercast.xyz/c/0x3000c2452e5d6915fdfd7cbedcf0105a69284f86
