Growth(top priority) Overall: - based on the survey, consensus top priority for the group - top growth priorities: channels, frames, retention, hubs Channels: - Today: membership, core channel UX refresh, APIs - Up next: better casting in a channel/casting experience in a channel(maybe rushed for some folks), decentralization ^ new channel changes planned to come out next week or so

Frames - Making frames better, adding mini apps(new experiments), transaction support - Whole lot of composer/cast action confusion etc, wanna simplify the LEGOs - Frames -- best way to get distribution for your app - Widget to put anywhere, on a site in a DC etc Ways to think about it: - Simple use cases - Just take an action from a frame button etc, not a lot of interaction needed - Complex use cases - Launching an app from a CTA in the feed - Mini app click comes with authenticated FID that's not on other social media, ton of public info you can use to spruce up your original UX - Future iteration they'd like to explore: ability to pass a transaction back into Warpcast and get a frame UX - eg. they'll generate the transaction flow, you don't have to go through the clunky wallet connect step, etc - *I wonder if there would be session keys here & the embedded wallet is a Farcaster primitive*

Direct Casts - DCs are stable, programable DCs are growing - Some great use cases for purchases, reminders(like streams), etc - Short term focus: making improvements in programmability - Long term focus: working on a plan for interoperability, likely 2025 - If you think this is a top priority, reach out & this will help them prioritize. But for now there are a lot of competing priorities and this is probably still long term as other things are worked out

Reduce sign up costs - $1 signups by early next year - Blocker is spa -- need to solve new problems when we lower costs - Warpcast can subsidize onboarding costs for *non-spammy* users - Interested in talking about legitimate signup subsidies, but need to make sure it's non spammy users - Reach out to Warpcast on this, still thinking through & no full framework here - Also separately @horsefacts.eth is working on a v1 solution(and more in the future) that'll make it easier to use an account on Warpcast that you made on another client like @supercast

Hubs - Sync is improving, but has rough edges - Sync needs a redesign, won't scale at current pace - New system(Snapchain) introduces a level of ordering & concepts from blockchains to the sync model, won't have these classes of sync issues that'd get in the way - Large public GH discussion happening on the snapchain: https://warpcast.notion.site/Snapchain-Public-0e6b7e51faf74be1846803cb74493886 - More on Warpcast hub status: https://status.warpcast.com
