Thank you for asking! Here are some: get casts based on multiple fids -> custom feeds get casts with no parent cast by fid -> for user replies get reactions by target fid(not creator) -> for user notifications

thanks, but don't want to maintain another db. Building on hub directly will be awesome!

Hub database isn't permanent working against hubs for the endpoints you talked about wouldn't result in a good experience so unless you're not looking at historical data (older than a couple days), you'd need to store the data in a DB or file system or something.

Actually Hub only prune events older than 3 days. For other types, like casts, reactions, no prune except out of storage. Hub is the source of truth for farcaster network.

Events? Casts etc are also HubEvents or am I missing something in the datatype?

for events, I mean https://www.thehubble.xyz/docs/httpapi/events.html Hub will merge and prune the events, but https://www.thehubble.xyz/docs/httpapi/casts.html will be permanent. When you backfill the sql database, you are using it.

https://www.thehubble.xyz/docs/events.html Events have messages in them -> every cast is just a event with specific type and mergeMessageBody which contains the Message with castAddBody … 😅 backfill also not really since snapshots exist so you really only backfill from that snapshot to current state?
