Farcaster

If you want people to join your network, you should give them a lot of ways to potentially join  

Farcaster currently only has one way to join: Warpcast via mobile 

- Can't join via desktop 
- Can't join via another app without a Warpcast mobile workaround

It's an open social graph but you can only join one way

Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Snap went years without having a non-mobile sign up path.

Fair point but a lot of crypto people use desktop at a higher rate than the average person 

If crypto people are still the main growth target then it seems like enabling a desktop sign-up path could onboard more people

All of those crypto people use Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp. You have to sign up and use your phone.

If the app is compelling enough, people will sign up on mobile.

People use those apps *despite* them requiring mobile signup, not because of it. Also, those are all messaging apps, which have a lot less of a use case on desktop than a social network like farcaster.

True and I see your point here. I agree with product led growth like you’ve championed.

I guess I’m curious what’s the benefit of only allowing sign up on mobile? 

My larger point is that I’m advocating for more ways to onboard onto Farcaster
