Direct casts. Ability to list convos, view convos, reply. Rendering casts. If you all just had an open source component to render casts, that’d be massive for clients.

It’s all the logic around embeds, frames, videos, etc…

In terms of displaying them? Outside of a strict clone of Warpcast UI, wouldn't really work for other clientS?

If you had a standard cast object from the hub, having the ability to render the full Warpcast rendering capabilities is a big thing. I understand there are Warpcast proprietary APIs. But clients right now build nerfed cast (just text and images) rendering because of all that logic.

I guess I'm a bit slow -- what specifically is hard about it? Is it the design? Is it the logic around what to do with two frames, a frame and image, two images, etc.?

It’s not hard in particular - just bandwidth. If there was a component you just plug and play, I’d say there’d be more clients. It’s around rendering videos, images, embedded URLs, embedded casts, threading, mentions, channel links, etc.. just lot more to think about then testing everything.

farcaster doesn't have a client problem though, it has a growth problem. needs more quality content needs more retained daily active users
