Lounge S3: Designers

We have reached the LAST question of /lounge Season 3: Designers 😯

Huge thanks to all the extremely talented and thoughtful Loungers in this cohort (go hire them rn)

What other question could I ask but…

Given unlimited authority, what would you redesign about Warpcast today?

🫡

Give recasts the respect they deserve: skip the algorithm heuristics and surface them as if I casted them myself while the original caster captures all the incoming engagement.

Bangers can't bang if they don't have a chance to spread organically.

Otherwise we're just stuck talking about crypto and founders 24/7

Never understood why this isn’t the case. Also feels really weird having a cast show up with “X people recasted this” the same way it does when a group of people like a cast

I’ve seen it show up as specificity a recast a few times, but it’s EXTREMELY rare. It’s usually only marked as people liking it as you’ve said. 

The next time I see it in my feed I’ll try to get a screenshot or something

A single recast making something appear in my feed? 👀

As I roughly understand the algorithm, it takes at least 1 recast + several likes of a cast of someone you don't follow for the *possibility* of showing up as a recast, which even then isn't clearly labeled as a recast but rather "X people liked this"
