the underlying energetical thread behind the new “explore” tab is egoic, and the equivalent of building a bazaar on varanasi it is shiny, loud, fun (?), but at the end of the day it is shallow because it invites the user to consume i appreciate the efforts behind, but i believe that is not what farcaster needs to succeed. at that point of the ganges, the river is already too polluted instead of a place where to showcase our creations and yell to the void asking for attention, we need an upstream temple on the heart of the himalayas that has at its core the invitation to create on the door of this bazaar there is a sign: “look how cool we are. come see us” it is self centered the door of the temple says: “who are you? come share that with us” the perspective and focal point is fundamentally different and i invite you, dear reader, to ponder which one a new user will resonate with the most do people inherently, at their core, want to consume? or do they want to belong and create?

jp officially admiring you! in some sense the directory is beneficial anyways — builders get more discoverability and the motivation in its turn and the more effort contributed to the “recruiting” by the whole community however, i agree — there are thing of higher priority i believe. see what i am releasing next. when you see it, you’ll probably share my concern: why the f am i doing it? haha meaning, if i decided to offer that, then there is an issue

the thing is: will people actually discover them through this explore tab? do people really use those things? i personally don’t. and for example an ai implementation that understood the context of all the apps that have been built on farcaster and told that specific user which are the apps that could be useful for what her specific needs would be much more… timely? idk we are past the explore tab on the evolution of tech imo
