Farcaster

What are you most frustrated about re: Farcaster?

If you could change one thing—what would it be and how would you do it?

the barrier for apps (especially frames) to write back to the network is too high

i would make a cast intent accessible from within frames, similar to viewProfile

i'm excited about the prospect of app keys going on snapchain and becoming free. with that being said there's also a big opportunity to overhaul the way app keys work with snapchain. would love to see the following
- ability for frames to easily get write access
- ability for signers to expire (by default preferably)
- ability to revoke a signer without deleting all messages (this is not intuitive behaviour)
- bonus: only write specific types of messages (e.g. user data, reactions, casts, links) and maybe the ability to write x times per day

explaining a bit of the lore

i once looked at farcaster's node js library to interact with hubs.
i didn't like it

gave a go to build my library fhub
figured out that i can make it work in nextjs

it did – @kmacb.eth tested it, but writes to hubs didn't work

just fixed it

pnpm add fhub@0.0.0-canary-20250209232957

This just dropped. HUGE unlock. Haven’t tested the final PR yet but was trying earlier versions. This should make writing onHub much easier for react devs no api key required. 

Feels like it’s almost time to *permissionlessly* incentivize hub operators to offer open access. Need to see what changes (app key wise) happen w snapchain then FC Revenue Token for all network participants 🤞
