nook

Decided today that we’re not going to be working on /nook anymore. It was originally meant for us to play around with and learn new tech and has served that purpose. 

We don’t really see a path forward in continuing to build the client, so we’re going to explore some non-Farcaster ideas instead. More soon!

props for shipping quick and making hard decisions

how has building a client affected your opinion of farcaster? did you consider other revenue streams on top of nook (outside of sign ups?)

i'm sure a lot of fc builders would benefit a ton from your insights!

building reel.farm and farcasterstudio.com

Farcaster is a place for side projects right now, not serious companies. Maybe will change in a few years. But I don’t believe we will ever see another client compete with Warpcast, which makes it all the less interesting to me with the lack of client decentralization.

Hmm, I think it depends. :)

Your time preference is high, which is understandable, but not everyone has that approach.

re: Warpcast competitor — browsers and Ethereum wallets are solid counter examples

I am optimistic here, particularly when it comes to channel-specific channels.

But if we want to follow the Ethereum wallet example, wondering how would this market look like if EF built their own wallet on Day 1 and advertised it on ethereum.org like Farcaster does with Warpcast (picrel) :)

Having 36 wallets to choose from is also more confusing than having one official EF wallet, but they decided to keep them (picrel) :) 

It doesn't mean that FC should follow this path if your goal is to get to 10M users ASAP. I just don't think the wallet analogy works here; a better one is browsers (IE vs. others)

We had a version with all the apps and it was confusing for users since no other apps post Flink offered sign up.

Good try though. :)
