"It's impossible to compete with Warpcast"

1. If you're trying to build for the same use case then yes, it will be extremely difficult. Have been saying this since last year. 

Given the size of the network, there's not enough users for multiple venture-backed businesses. This is why we are so focused on growing the size of the network (which itself requires a supply of content).

2. Try building something that's orthogonal (i.e. not a clone of Warpcast which is largely a clone of Twitter). Or use the social graph permissionlessly (no signers needed) to enhance your onboarding like Drakula, Tavern, Rodeo, Zora, etc.

3. If you still want to build a Warpcast competitor, try starting with a mobile-first onboarding flow -- copy this one. 85% of Warpcast usage is mobile. Yet people keep galaxy braining with a web first strategy and then complain it's too hard to compete.

4. PWA mobile experience will save you time and no App Store, but you will have a much harder time creating habitual DAU.

How I would build an app on Farcaster today if I wasn't working on Warpcast

tokens, tribes & games | building /football & hosting /ethmumbai

Maybe ping @haole or @hellno.eth about contributing low bandwidth / offline to one of their apps?

thx for sharing 🙌 been pondering over different ideas, big and small for past 2 weeks. my anchor for navigation has mostly been around problems i have been facing (eg: a client for low bandwidth/offline mode) but none of them are business viable so to say. still confused on the direction i wanna take but the quoted thread was helpful 🙏

Join the movement, create a better everything, all we need to do is keep building. /justbuild /talkstory $units $justbuild $moxie

If someone is passionate about that idea, they should try it.

How about a series of university specific clients that use the .edu as a qualifier? Take the old FB model and bring it into the onchain age via FC. They certainly won't be resistant to crypto and the mobile first UX will speak directly to them.

What do you mean?

There needs to be an dedicated funding mechanism for people to go after this

Im not complaining, im going after that funding right now

Let’s fucking win

I use desktop most of the time because the double confirm to cast on mobile drives me insane.

Please, please make this optional. ☠️

@anser-social.eth is not for @warpcast users. At all.
That’s why I am bullish.

Do you have any ideas what exactly would you build?

I think both competing and being one the same platform are possible as long as you don’t build the same thing.

Basically what Meta does with instagram. The hubs and the accounts are the same but the platform creates a different social experience.

Another example could be Mastodon. Where the competition is not about the network but about the best User experience.

I don't know if you read this message or not.

Maybe others can make something different. 
 Maybe others can do it with more creativity, higher graphics, more stable tokens, and with more efficiency, a faster app....
But who started this dream? Who brought to life the dream of contributing, investing, and building in us? Definitely you Dan. You were... 
 I wish you knew what a great thing you did for the crypto world. I say this from the bottom of my heart and I appreciate youuuuu from the bottom of my heart

Like a friend use to say ‘they can only try, but they can’t get it as yours’

Even when given the necessary tools, it’d still be unique
