A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

do we need to run a indexer in addition to hub? any recommendation?

Thinking of proving an indexer as a service on top of hubs.neynar.com. Would that be interesting?

that would be really useful for a managed service

we have this https://github.com/gskril/farcaster-indexer . But it seems relying on supabase

I am running into this tonight think the answer is yea. Getting things like reaction counts etc is rough from hubs but would be simple with an indexer

yes because you can’t index or search content from hubs directly(or you can search certain things but it’s limited)

if you want to build an app on hubs, I’d highly recommend indexing data
