Been a while since I logged onto Farcaster. Excited with the ecosystem that's being developed for decentralised comms. I've been really getting into the Lens Protocol for a citizen science journal platform I've been working on and building on LP has made me realise the beauty of web3 - it's one ecosystem, one address.

Something like Farcaster is a poor utility for scientific journals (at the moment :) while I think the main utility of Lens is "publications" and the metadata attached - hence why I'm building this platform and its DAO on LP. I haven't forgotten about Farcaster, though, and it has great utility for comms and chat :)

What I mean is that on FC it's organised around posts and social media, so it's sort of hard to create a feed of articles that include thinks like connected Jupyter notebooks & datasets. LP has custom modules to enable this Having said that, I am not saying FC is bad, just right now LP is better designed for MY client

The beauty of web3 is anyone can host anything anywhere, and we can build on top of existing protocols to get what we want. In the future I may build FC protocol into my client. I certainly am building stuff that will rely on something like FC in the future, and I'm excited about its direction.

Is your client public?
