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. 7 replies
