if somebody wants to ship their first farcaster project to prod, give it a proper url and everything feel free to fork this https://github.com/wojtekwtf/fc-ama-formatter built with @neynar, can get some good views if you cache it nicely and give it a url like fcama.com/vitalik etc

if only it was as easy as forking to start working on it in the good old times it was now you have to doagic with signers, api keys, private keys, mobile sessions just to start developing for farcaster @dwr i've heard in your talk you want more devs, but revealed preference is the opposite it's extremely tedious

Revealed preferences: - Active developer count at an all time high - Most developers care about DAU and growth, willing to deal with some complexity assuming that exists

ngl literally the same thing i've heard from the tg team when i was pointing out issues that can be easily solved ofc active devs are all-time high, the product grows and brings more people they aren't here because of the *unnecessary* complexity, but despite of it

> they aren't here because of the *unnecessary* complexity, but despite of it They're here because: 1. There are potential users today 2. The prospect of users in the future assuming grow qDAU 3. The system technically works, despite some complexity The existential issue is growing qDAU by 1000x.

these aren't mutually exclusive: you can both work on qDAU and *not* reduce the quality of documentation and packages you had it perfect before, now it's virtually impossible to start building if you either: 1. junior 2. senior without much time or desire to read bad docs ask half dozen of people who dm'd me about it

you're not hearing me, are you? instead of listening to legit criticism that when addressed can improve the product for devs you're deflecting

I've already said we would improve the docs. I'm addressing a few points: 1. we would have more developers if documentation is better yes, but marginal relative to growing qDAU 2. you should make X a priority we think we have the right priorities right now, but take feedback into account and adjust frequently

i never said that you should make docs a priority, i only voiced my concerns about the api being virtually unusable due to its complexity and poor documentation for which you replied: devs come anyway so f it, let them do it through pain and then you became defensive as if i attacked farcaster or you personally
