Farcaster

Should Farcaster decouple clients from algorithms and moderation?

We could design a common api specification that allows algorithm providers to be plugged in to any existing client.

The main thing against this I think is that it's not clear to me whether the algorithm is actually the main product a client provides.

It wouldn't be performant without a lot of work.

Modern consumer apps use machine learning and the algo needs to be fast.

If it's not fast and supplying a lot of content, people churn.

@slokh how hard was getting a performant feed? iirc, you said that's a lot of work.

@ncitron.eth others can do it, but a) a lot of work b) infrastructure is expensive / requires sophistication to maintain and scale

Yeah but the warpcast algo feed is generated quickly?

I'm sure this took a bit of engineering effort but I imagine others can do it.

The reason I think this would be valuable is that building a good algo is probably one of the hardest things to do when building a client, so standardized algo services would be nice for clients bootstrapping.

Does AT Proto have any other popular clients?

Last I checked, they don't use machine learning algo feeds?

Has atproto had success with this? 

I’m not familiar with the DX for building app views for atproto but I know this was in the purview of their design choices.

Hi Dan! Haven't chatted with you in a min what's good?
