Farcaster

Official Channels Day is on June 7, 2025 

What does this mean? Channels were launched on June 7, 2023 and quickly became cozy corners for creators, curators and communities to connect and grow on Farcaster.

Celebrate with us!

If you're a channel owner, quote cast this post with a note about why you started your channel. How is it meaningful to you? And don't forget to celebrate your active members by tagging the top contributors and letting them know how they help make your cozy corner better.

If you don't own a channel, or are simply a fan of channels, quote cast this post, tag your top three channels, and share why they’re important to you. How do they make the Internet (or Farcaster) a better place for you?

Don't forget to join us for the Official Channels Day—Launch Party on Friday, June 6th starting at 8am PDT

Happy Channels Day!

We started /uno to build in public and have a cozy corner for folks to share feedback. Appreciate all the work Merkle and community members have put in to get them to where they are today.

Going to an aviation museum this afternoon that has the following:

- B-1 Lancer
- SR-71 Blackbird 
- P-51 Mustang
- F-15 Eagle
- U-2 Dragon Lady
- B-17 Flying Fortress
- B-52 Stratofrtress

And that’s just a fraction of the total aircraft there 

I am PUMPED

What is the best NFT API available today? $10 USDC for the answer we go with.

SimpleHash was acquired by Phantom and shut down in March.

And if it's easier to implement an indexer ourselves, so be it.

So far June has been casually seeing the same friends I’ve made here on Farcaster also on Instagram, Twitter, Threads, and Gmail but with different content for their different audiences.

Apple released analysis on current LLM/LRM capabilities. Fundamentally finding that models essentially “give up” rather than scale their thinking appropriately.

We get both “overthinking” and wild goose chases. Sophisticated pattern matching.

Day 2 of investment memos on @paperview 

This time: @unofficial by @christopher and @erica 

Nice to reflect back and see how things change but the core stays similar: A great product built on great infra

Who’s should we do next?

Most important lesson since this memo shipped has been the power of patience and letting everyone learn at equal rates.

It was a no brainer to partner with @socialgraphvc in the round because they saw this world full of inevitable opportunity.

Game 5

Remember the Game 5 NFT?

That was two years ago.

I invite you to test your sports predictions against mine through $BRACKY tokens (0x06f71fb90F84b35302d132322A3C90E4477333b0)

Your participation is appreciated

Alright, 3 days in.

1. Building a miniapp is way faster iteration for a client.. but ya still gotta build the client. You should 100% build a miniapp first.

2. An indie backend lift is still very non-trivial and mixing these authentication frameworks is not good for Farcaster newbies.

Damn he's still going. Look at him go wow.

This part of the biopic is going to go wild lol.

JAX is pretty sick.

Functional programming, automatic differentiation, JIT, vmap + pmap, and TPU/GPU acceleration with the same code that runs on CPU 😮‍💨

I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell
And now you're in my way

YouTube now dominates the living room

Weird because I still associate YT with mobile form factors, but they've been pressing hard on TV because that's where they can continue to grow -- and it's now become their primary viewing device

Wonder how this impacts their product focus

blackbird

I would love to see Blackbird transition from being a restaurant loyalty app to be an exclusive destination discovery app.

You can product ladder from restaurants to hotels in phenomenal places easily. It also quickly increases your TAM (fine dining at a tropical hotel).

Token value would also translate nicely.
