Overwhelmed by and grateful for the great response to farcasterkit.com! 🙏

Wanted to share some quick updates ~24hrs after launch

1) This afternoon I rewrote @casterscan's backend with Farcaster Kit -- which removed a ton of code and made the app faster. You can see by this very important search query below 😂

Check out the code as another example of how to use Farcaster Kit in your app: github.com/dylsteck/casterscan

3) I posted this in the original cast but wanted to re-emphasize the goal of Farcaster Kit

Making Farcaster apps can cost $$ and require devs to use multiple packages/services

Farcaster Kit aims to be an all-in-one package for FC devs, just like RainbowKit/Wagmi is for ETH and docs.lens.xyz is for Lens

4) Farcaster Kit operates as a standalone API/package, but it's also the first of many data sources for @cortex's Nexus -- a network of personal knowledge graphs and public data sources that I'll be sharing more about soon

TLDR; the package works on its own, but expect similar packages for non-FC content soon 👀

5) I just submitted Farcaster Kit to @purple's current retroactive funding round, and any support would go towards continued development of the open source package and its API! 🫡

2) Cont'd work on auth modules today, should have early versions done by next week -- starting with sign in/create account with EOA, but moving on to Warpcast and Privy support afterwards

I'm making sure to prioritize auth since I know not only that it's needed to write to the network but also can be tricky for devs
