Lounge S2: Channel Owners

Stoked to be apart of /lounge season 1! 

1. How did you discover Farcaster?

late 2022 @dwr retweeted a toy I built (https://query.wtf). Then @ediep shared fc links in @manifoldxyz and I pinged dan for an invite.

I lost my signer in the transition away from farcaster desktop; didn’t find my way back until last year

Working on Mordisco 😬

2. Top 3 Career Highlights:

1. The hell bender of launching Flex at Twilio with @martinamps. Shared a bit: https://warpcast.com/jtgi/0x65c8b9bf

2. Building Manifold claim pages (app.manifold.xyz) from zero to viral w/ @donthedang, @agus.

4. How'd you get your first 10 users?

I built up some good will having fun with frames. Once I shared the POC in /founders with an onframe waitlist, a ton of people signed up. I picked a cohort of channels with different cultures and started white glove onboarding.

4 cont'd: Farcaster celebrates building and experimenting, wouldn't have worked elsewhere.

3. What are you currently working on?

Had 4 small bets:
Jan: divide.cash - splitwise for crypto
Feb: glass.cx - no code frames
Feb: /automod - channel moderation bot
Mar: /paperboy - one click tipping

I’m now fully focused on /automod, a channel moderation bot used in 100’s of channels on farcaster.

Def one of my top 3 highlights too! Such good times! 🖤
