The fight for the mini app dev market share is on

Reddit, TG, Wechat, Warpcast (and other Farcaster clients)

LinkedIn also experiments with LinkedIn Games. Facebook had them back in the day

Developer 🤓 build, develop and operate Farcaster solutions @ dtech.vision also love tech, decentralization, fitness and oldschool rap 😎

the factors for attracting devs that outweigh all others are users and distribution

other platforms have a massive advantage in terms of # of users

Farcaster’s unique selling point is ability to get initial traction by launching to a concentrated user base of early adopters that are easy to reach and a potential asymmetric of the network scaling significantly in the next few years

Building @warpcast and @farcaster, new dad, like making food

Trading immediate network effects if you can find traction for an initial traction boost and a bet on the future. That’s a pretty good way to sell it.
