For anyone that’s investigated this, what’s the technical difficulty with a channel-focused client? Serious question.

IMO very few. You can still only create channels in Warpcast but that shouldn’t stop anyone. Republished from a GC: if you asked me to build this "channel-focused client" I would: 1) Approach it more like an "app" than a "client." Cut out most of the stuff a generic "client" has to do (signups, follows, feeds, search, notifications, chat). If you want to do that, use Warpcast or any of the 10 other clients. 2) Focus narrowly on a really good channel viewing and management experience. Try to do better at surfacing and curating interesting content. Add an integrated curation/moderation tool. (There is a huge underexplored programmability surface here with automated moderation). Add stuff like downvoting, threading, etc. Build on what already exists. 3) Expand to some unique channel focused features: a gated chat, private content, more UI customization, pinned posts, integrations with spaces/blogs/newsletters/subscriptions/events. 4) Monetize by subscriptions, focus on getting 100 power users to start.

There are now at least ten (!) text based feed focused non-Warpcast clients. Anyone entering that market should have a great differentiator, or play a different game.

tbh i dont think "channel viewing" is enough, ppl will visit, but not stay. agree with the rest of the points tho, there is a huge demand for more filtered experiences.

ser could you spare 20 secs to checkout degencast.wtf and dunk on it? It's our attempt to build a channel focused app (less client).. but may still appear too client-ish..

Also following channels is not possible cross-client, so really hampers any advantage of using Farcaster for that generally. Have to rebuild the interest graph each time or focus on one channel/niche.

but from a technical pov, what’s the limitation with channels not being on the protocol? creating and managing only via Warpcast? if warpcast decides to discontinue it for whatever reason, bye bye client/app/whatever? not a dev here but interested to know more
