Farcaster

What's one thing that's confusing about Farcaster?

We should do a better job explaining.

I don't think most people care about old casts? It's a 5-10% of users that really care about preserving everything.

I didn't know this, and will have to figure out to preserve casts that meet certain criteria (for both my own casts and our users)

thinking in public: a cast is a JSON, while a Farchive is a gzipped tarball of (optionally encrypted) Markdown files.

where is the best entry point to read about the integration tools?

Of course! We've got a few things going on that could be used. 

Turbo (our uploading service) would be a great start. Uploads <100KB are currently free too.

Could also look at running an ar.io gateway customized to uncompress / decrypt any files for serving.
