Weekly reminder for myself and other engineer-brained builders prone to coding over talking to humans;

speak to your customers about their most painful current problems

Do you view that cast differently today? Last year you were building a FC client and FC had what, maybe 1k dau? In a lot of new markets, when do you build with a vision that people will be there even though no one had an acute problem you’re solving today?

Hm I don't think I see it differently. 

If you start from fundamentals and focus on things like retention and UX,  user growth will take of itself. Growth in consumer social often happens not at all, and then all at once, growing a magnitude or more

if you think the larger audience is a close enough extrapolation of your early user group's problems (some bits may change - early farcaster had problems of too little content about X, now it may be too much spam)

- so it's a lagging and noisy metric to look at a low num of registered users as reflecting nonprogress
