Celtics in 6 over Thunder

Thunder beat Nuggets
Celtics beat Knicks

devil’s advocate:

shouldn’t bookmark and share be in the kebab menu then too since they’re actions you take on the cast item?

i see a point to clearly separating them - these are NOT made by the merkel team, they’re made by the users 

+ new feature is easier to discover if it isn’t hidden behind kebab!

Fun discussion happening here around icons and discoverability :)

Put cast actions in the kebab menu

there are already “actions” there!

The Farcaster Secret Master Plan

Goal: get to 1B+ DAU for protocol

1. Grow DAU by 100x (single digit millions). Likely through Warpcast.
2. More developers get interested in building new social apps
3. New apps attract users; virtuous cycle
4. Win crypto first, then other categories. Likely through channels.

I respect this plan, but I’m mentally at step 2 (love me some novel experiences)

Will be hanging out with the devs when they’re ready 🫡

Those who can, do
Those who can’t, launch meme coins

Ordering is now based on what you engage with and your own social graph (revealed preference).

Don't like something? Don't engage or unfollow!

Here's an example from earlier today: You can see that the first two replies are from people I am not following, but I replied to. Those now appear ahead of a cast I liked.

ADHD

Haven’t used my personal channel as much recently because half of my casts can just go straight to /adhd

Ya boi made the Arc homepage (arc.net)

h/t @clafayette for the spot

I’m really good at doing many things 80% of the way

I might not finish everything, but I’ll rack up way more percentage points overall :)

Normalize going this hard

Can’t believe we haven’t always had the Play-In tournament

I really like this implementation of consent for recording calls

AI recognizes when consent is granted verbally, and it unlocks transcription afterwards

Carrier pigeons were immune to spam because you had to give someone a pigeon to enable them to message you.

This is about carrier pigeons and nothing else.

Does anyone want to try being pigeon-pals?

Confirmed (in my experience) that Airchat isn’t great for lurking

Feels like the uncanny valley of eavesdropping

every /zora mints comments are full of people posting enjoy

comments used to be fun, specific to the work, high signal

now comments feel low signal, noisy, just another place for people to shill their token

sure, the token has value right now - but at what cost?

You could say this about much of Farcaster right now too

When the weather is nice, I can’t get work done inside

But then I also can’t get work done outside

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cast action: when was this frame last updated?

I have 50+ recruit credits from userinterviews.com and don’t want to cancel my subscription (or else I’ll lose the credits

Let me know if you’d be interested in using them!
