As previously discussed, we're considering renaming the Warpcast app to Farcaster. Why? - Top priority is grow users on the protocol - The name split is extremely confusing for new users - So, we want to simplify How we're thinking about it - Rename Warpcast mobile app - warpcast.com to farcaster.xyz for web app - Open source both apps - No change protocol name, i.e. similar to Uniswap with app / protocol What we’re doing - Seeking input and want to make sure we understand concerns - Ultimately Varun and I will make a decision; it won’t be a vote. - Expect a decision in the next week or so; if yes, we will give plenty of notice and will take time to do this correctly / cleanly. How you can provide input - Developers: please reply here or feel free to reach out to me via direct message whether you agree or disagree. - Everyone else: you're free to offer input, but we will be weighting developer input a bit more since it has a bigger near-term impact on what they are building

1. The only parties it would potentially disadvantage in the future is pure fc client plays (of which there are very few serious ones right now) 2. Coinbase wallet doesn’t really count because it’s a wallet first and already has lots of distribution 3. Obviously anything that makes things less confusing for users is a positive for mini app devs 4. If you proceed with this please consider separate marketing channels for devs and users. They’re two distinct audiences with different problems and I bet trying to appeal to both through the same channel was a significant source of confusion
