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

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.

Founders

announcing automod.sh –– enforce channel norms with bots.
– automatically hide casts and ban spammers with 8 composable checks
– create fun rules like /hi-fid-club and first 400 followers /400 
– self service, no code required

private beta now, next cast to register.

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.

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.

3. Experiencing Twilio go from a 200 person private company to 6,000 & public.

query.wtf is nice. Would be cool if it optionally returned json too.

Thanks. It does return json, just add /api before the params.

But I wouldn’t use it for any production use case. I don’t support it and it’s on a free rpc tier.
