Are screenshot essays still a thing, given long tweets and long casts?

Current state of consumer crypto:

We have GPS and a camera phone, but we haven't found Uber and Instagram yet.

Possible GPS/camera phone equivalents: stablecoins, smart contracts, smart wallets, an open social graph, low cost L2s, passkeys.

Or the GPS and camera phone haven't arrived yet?

I want to buy any L2 token in my Coinbase exchange account.

It should mirror the experience of buying a listed CEX token, but under the hood it will be a DEX trade on my Coinbase Smart Wallet address, signed by a session key.

I claim $MOXIE every day just to do something onchain via a frame.

week 2 in /the-arena 🚢 

this week for /uno we shipped more features for stories:

> seen and unseen states for story avatars
> post stories privately (just to uno) or publicly (to uno and as a cast that auto deletes in 24hrs)
> manage your own stories (download and delete)
> pause/play other people’s stories
> pull to refresh both stories and the feed simultaneously

Clever: stories are casts that auto-delete after 24 hours

It's odd that the "Your cast is trending" notification shows up well below other earlier notifications. Couldn't find it at first.

New personal website. Going to start writing more.

If SSO'ing into apps via Google/Apple required you to use another mobile app/extension, SSO'ing would have never gained adoption.

It's highly irrational to think that we'd ever see real user growth with today's wallet setups. Passkey-based web wallets like CBSW solve this.

So many people have seen my poop history. Staggering when I think about it, really. I am listening to @hickle show someone I don't know my poop history right now. It's better he doesn't attribute it to me for many reasons, but sometimes I want the credit 😆

there is absolutely no reason why every art marketplace shouldn't have "for you" recommendations based on the things you already have in your wallet

Onchain for you.

In every app. Powered by /daylight.

Close to making smart.kylemccollom.eth my primary as kylemccollom.eth.

Use it every day, and as a passkey-based web wallet, it is significantly easier than any other wallet format.

Just need to be able to use it in mobile apps (e.g. anytime I want to sign a frame transaction, I need to go to Warpcast's web app).

"I wish I could watch this 30+ minute video on Farcaster"

1. The work required to make video play in the background, not lose your spot, chapter markers, etc. is significant!

2. Farcaster doesn't penalize links in the algo -- so easy to link to a YouTube video (which has a boatload of nice features like automatic transcription, clipping, link to timestamp, download offline, watchlists, etc.)

3. Short videos in-feed, long videos in the better tools

Similar to long cast vs. posting on @paragraph

Another example of why specialized apps will win over super apps:

Specializing in each experience is a recipe for stagnation. Creating an elite video viewing experience won’t move the needle for Warpcast, and most users would even then still prefer to watch videos on YouTube.

Would love to see the questions a curious kid asks ChatGPT.

some of u guys need to worry less abt founder mode and might wanna consider “found her” mode

“What a rare find is a capable wife!
Her worth is far beyond that of rubies.”

Or sapphires.

AGM in "found her" mode. https://warpcast.com/keccers.eth/0x683319c9 https://warpcast.com/antonio/0xc6d4e69c

Trying to decide what is more depressing: 

Getting no replies, or having tons of try-hard AI reply guys.

i did not say it is.

ethereum is the social network.

Ethereum is not the open social graph.

Social graph - a map of who you know.
Interest graph - a map of what you like.

Ethereum is an open interest graph: the things you do onchain convey what you like.

Farcaster is both an open interest (the content of your posted and liked casts) and social graph (who you follow).

I deeply believe that non-cast feed experiences will be places where you discover things to do onchain, then leave the feed to do it (bringing your account with you).

The feed is too shallow to do meaningful things - play games, get full experiences, get the best price, etc.

Today, you discover articles, products, music, etc in feeds then leave to go consume those items elsewhere.

The same applies to crypto social, but what’s beautiful is that you can bring your account to every app - not the super app idea that everything can be in one app.

We’ve seen this before: people thought RSS feed readers would dominate, but they never lasted - reading still primarily happens on the native sites where the content was created.
