The only reason you should build a Warpcast-flavored farcaster client right now is if you have a large pre-existing and external community looking for a new home.

If 80% of your features overlap with things warpcast already does, you're gonna have a hard time. 

Strongest differentiators come down to
- Net new community
- Orthogonal features that have very low likelihood Warpcast will build them in

Warpcast isn't stealing your feature.

It's your job to understand Merkle/Warpcast's own product strategy and incentives, then build your product in a way that's symbiotic.

Exactly.

Although, I don't even think a pre-existing large community warrants a Warpcast-like client. No community ATM is large enough for that.

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

I think that there are large enough subreddits that may want to migrate off reddit given the previous drama / censorship. That could be enough reason for the mods to build their own client on FC so they never face the same issue again.
