Farcaster

actually dumb question but would it be possible to build a “Stories”-like product on top of fartcaster protocol? specifically ephemeral stories?

ephemeral casts, sure (client just deleted the message after x time)

but would probs need a standard to indicate that it's a special type of cast so other clients can handle it

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

If the goal is just to delete a cast after x time, I agree - that’s a client feature (or a bot that you have a signer with)

but sounds like rainbow mike was proposing a new type of cast that clients would know to display in a different way - I think that’d need a standard, no?

I don't think a standard is needed. For example:
- Create fc-ephimeral-service
- Sign-in with fc.
- When your casts mention the service "ex: @TTL 1d", the service deletes the casts for you after the period.
