Warpcast name origin Requirements: - easy to pronounce - 2 words put together - relation to Farcaster - No trademark issues (having gone through a trademark rebranding at Coinbase and never want to do that again) New names and logos are weird—change!—but ultimately it's how the app works. cf. Coinbase and Airbnb

We'll have a verified developer program for apps if you want to connect to them from Warpcast. Later this year.
