I joined the Farcaster team last week with the focus on growing the developer ecosystem so wanted to share my perspective. I've gotten feedback from 100+ builders on Farcaster (thank you for sharing with me!) and the #1 pain point by a long shot was needing more DAUs on Farcaster (also #1 issue we had with Bountycaster). Growing DAUs drives what we prioritize at Farcaster With a lean team, there's limited resources and we can't build everything. Growing the developer ecosystem means creating a place where devs are able to have meaningful usage for what they build and if they choose, be able to build sustainable businesses. This is ultimately how to get a flywheel going of new devs and users coming into the ecosystem. It's also making sure devs have the proper tools and resources they need to build!

To be completely fair, I've been using Warpcast for a long time, since around October 2023, but I still haven't found it engaging enough to stay there for more than 30 minutes a day. Maybe it's too difficult for regular users, or maybe it's actually simpler than other platforms (like X, for example), but the information I need just isn't there. Or perhaps it's simply a space for developers to work, and their culture is different from that of regular users like us. Increasing rewards for engagement, as they're doing now, probably won't be effective in boosting DAU. There needs to be a major event to bring more attention to the platform. Also, the requirement to pay a fee to participate can be a significant barrier, especially when users aren't sure if they'll find valuable information in return.
