composer actions cc @deodad @horsefacts.eth 

inspired by external cast data spec, goal is to make it easy for third party apps to augment casts

help enable discoverability of frames, which has been a pain point

you'll get a popup where you can do something and then modify the cast(insert an image, add/create a frame, etc)

composer actions cont'd

there'd be a new 'form' type that would return an embedded iframe that shows up in/can modify the cast composer

lines up with how cast action data is created/returned too -- could expand to other contexts in the future as well

still prototyping, but this week will have a focus on specific use cases(polls, events, only like 2-3 actions in the first version, very hard coded for v1)

programmable dcs, cc @v 

the feature has had some traction but not amazing traction
current pov: not growing fast enough where they can grow it, team should be prioritizing composer actions, making frames faster, & integrating better with other wallets in mobile

sitting back for another month to collect more feedback, reach out to them if you're further interested in programmable DCs

decentralized channels, cc @dwr.eth 

trying to figure out to increase casting in channels
if unable to do that, then spending time to decentralize the primitive would be a mistake

doing all this other stuff(long casts, streaks etc) to try and push more interesting content & help this

feed improvements, cc @akshaan @cmlad.eth @piril

- new ways to report a cast
- keyword muting
- spam detection & priority mode

storage reduction cc @wazzymandias.eth 

hub size is ~130gb+, like 500gb in 6-12 months
once get to a size of like 5tb then things will get hard, so doing some things now to plan for the future

a new proposed fip(hopefully even later) should cut 5/8gb on disks today & more in the future
