Congratulations to Trump, Polymarket, and Polygon!

Been using ChatGPT as my default search engine for hours. Google keeps asking if I want to switch back.

I don't. And probably won't.

This simple Chrome extension is a bigger threat to Google's core business than ChatGPT's standalone chatbot ever was.

Build social apps with just post/profile/feed first.

Farcaster/Threads got it right by resisting feature creep early.

Users asking for bookmark/save features is a strong signal of quality content—but build it later, not first.

We finally have the ChatGPT Search and the Claude Desktop app.

Once the country code no longer exists, the domain must cease to exist, too, ideally within three to five years.

Like a tenant being told that their landlord is selling up and they must move, every individual and company who uses a .io domain will be told the same.

New on Warpcast: updated home feed design

- Casts in channels now have a label at the top with the logo
- Casts are slimmed down: username-only, merged the action buttons with counts, moved Bookmarks to the kebab menu (top right)
- Channel circles have been retired

Another thoughtful design from Farcaster team. 🔥🤌

FC Appreciation post:

Warpcast iPhone app has the best designed UI and utility for a notifications tab. Well done. 👏

This is an aspect of the sector that is widely known but so difficult to penetrate that the existing literature often gloss over it, except for a few studies and reports based mostly on blockchain analysis.

We've done over 22,000 onchain account recoveries since the system launched last year. 

These are people who lost seed phrases but because of Farcaster's onchain recovery system they were able to regain control of their FID in an address they control.

Well done, Farcaster. This is the practical balance needed between the offchain and onchain worlds for wider adoption now.

As someone without an active coding background, I find Clause 3.5 Sonnet amazing for building MVPs.

I rely on ChatGPT for quick fixes when I hit limits on Claude. What other tools or hacks do you use to speed up product development?

Let's make onchain safe.

High on bleeding-edge ideas & tech.
