A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

There's a clear opportunity for an open source Farcaster mobile client that does one thing really well: a reverse chronological feed. 

1. Sign in with Farcaster (auth only to start)
2. Show me the feed of people I follow
3. Ability to view threads and profiles.

Nothing else.

No one has time / resources to make Android. :)

You said you had a 70/30 iOS/Android split. Build for the 70%

Two issues with iOS native app:

1. Even fewer developers relative to React -> React Native pipeline
2. React Native + Expo means you can ship ios / android / web in one app, e.g. bluesky

I’m aware of all of that 😃

My points:

1. You only need a few iOS devs, even just one. If I had the time or a grant I’d do it.

2. Native just feels nicer and higher quality. Yes more JS devs but they have to do the work to make the app feel great rather than just style UIKit
