▶️ vibra

this is an example of a video casted through /vibra 

the fundamental challenge of building a video first client on top of farcaster today is:

how do we level up the playing field so that old and new users can feel that their content reaches people in the same way?

imagine you have a power badge. you can cast video on warpcast

well, if you don’t. you probably can’t. so it becomes tricky. and that’s why we decided to kickstart this client with this frame, transforming the video into a gif

today, every video casted through vibra is rendered on warpcast as a frame

thoughts?

Not enough interesting and entertaining content.

2 questions:

1. Apart from video-to-GIF frames, what is the biggest differentiator between Vibra and Drakula? 

2. How do you help solve the problem of the perceived lack of creators that make interesting/entertaining content on the network in the first place?

1. vibra is a video first farcaster client. videos are embedded on casts, and the data primitive is the cast. which makes it earn moxie. or be eligible to be tipped. etc. we also support live streaming natively, and many other things that you will see when exploring the app

2. most of the people that come to warpcast get bored of it, because of:

a) strong focus on “the culture of warpcast”, which makes them feel alienated

b) 95% of people don’t want to read. they want to be entertained. video is key

I believe that our approach to using casts as the primitive for a whole new experience built on top of farcaster showcases the power of the protocol in a way that few other clients have done, and that will have a deep effect in the way people understand the true potential of farcaster

I don’t think people have realized how wild it is to have the same identity (and data structures -casts-, social graphs, etc) on platforms that are diametrically different in what they propose the user

today, they are hosted on google cloud services

but if you have a good idea on how to implement this we are always looking for what is best for our users

cc @cassie will it be possible to host videos on Q? if so, do you have an idea on the price range competitively speaking with web2 solutions?

(i haven’t ever talked about Q with my team on /vibra, but this would be a game changer first approach 👀)

(screenshot of vibra below. its a mobile video first FC client that also supports live streaming. i joined the team 1 month ago and we are building a v cool farcaster client)

Where are these video hosted? AWS? Couldn't they just deplatform you like Youtube does?

it is the compression of the gif… there is a balance to find in terms of its size (it has to be less than 10mb) and the resources of the phone of the user that are used to create the gif from the video

we are experimenting and exploring. what do you think?

looks a little laggy ,what is the problem with my network?

this video is now available on /vibra

and here it is as a gift

sorry, as a gif

you can turn these replies off on the frame

but any video you share on warpcast will still be available on /vibra (because it is a farcaster client)

yep. but the priority on the vibra feed is:

1) videos casted through vibra
2) videos casted through warpcast on the last 24 hours
3) an all time fine selection of the 1000 “best” videos that have been casted through warpcast

our bot is doing gods work there, you can check the feed of its replies to see all the videos that have been uploaded to warpcast lately 🫨

I like that. So do all videos uploaded to WC automatically uploaded to Vibra?

building /anser https://anser.social | prev. Ledger

do how have a link for that?

cc @horsefacts.eth @deodad 

this would mean the world to us

Why don’t you just post the video itself to Farcaster. 
Warpcast team shared the specs to be displayed natively.
That would be a game changer.
