Quick overview: Farcaster Kit is an open source monorepo with React hooks and an Express API, all built on top of Farcaster's open source Postgres indexer

You can use our REST routes (read-only for now) or React hooks to get app-ready Farcaster data in your app in minutes

What's in the box?

✅ rest api
✅ read features
✅ channels module
✅ app-first feeds
✅ historic data
✅ user pages
🔜 auth hooks
🔜 write actions
🔜 multi package/provider support

The goal is for Farcaster Kit to manage your end-to-end Farcaster interactions, and to support as many packages/providers  in the ecosystem -- just like  RainbowKit or wagmi does for Ethereum.

Here's an example of how you can use Farcaster Kit in your React app -- it only takes two steps:
1) Add <FarcasterKitProvider> to your root file(eg. `_app.tsx `for NextJS)
2) Use any hooks from our library with a single call, such as useUser, useReplies, or useLatestCasts

And in the meantime, happy building! ✌️
