gm! Today, I'm thrilled to launch the next version of Pincaster. My vision is to offer the best way to discover interesting topics on Farcaster https://pincaster.xyz/explore

Explorer. Code, design, and mountains. flink.fyi/matallo.eth Building: pincaster.xyz

Whenever someone casts a link to a book URL (currently supporting Amazon and Goodreads), Pincaster automatically creates a book collection and adds the cast to the list. If the book collection already exists, the cast is seamlessly included (Collections and casts are updated every 24 hours)

To see an example, visit: https://pincaster.xyz/t/books/how-the-internet-happened-by-brian-mccullough

New account creation for Pincaster is currently disabled. However, you can access the public-facing pages, including Explore. For those who had an account before May 22nd, 2023, all data will be removed.

Similarly to my motivation to start Pincaster a year ago, recent FIP-2 announcements have fueled my excitement to launch the current (very WIP) Pincaster. https://warpcast.com/dwr/0xfaa114

I envision a future where I can display all casts for each URL in a Pincaster collection, just like the original group annotation server http://1997.webhistory.org/www.lists/www-talk.1993q2/0416.html If you have any feedback let's talk! I'm matallo on TG

After a break, I resumed the development of Pincaster with a fresh start. While bookmarking and archiving will be supported again in the future, this version focuses on Search and Discovery, starting with books.

You got it! I didn’t plan to ship this early, still a lot of work to do. Lowkey that capture looks incredible

Love this experience for books! Would be cool for all types of recs (music, gear, food).

This is very much WIP but I really wanted to ship the progress I had made, thanks and if you have any more feedback I'd love to talk!

Please make casting under each book a thing..

I would have loved to see people’s thoughts about Ghost Wars or other books I have read. (My main interest is the people of farcaster)

I’d love to learn more, what’s the best way to talk?

Love this. Would be amazing to have community- specific creations, voting etc. For example, a UI @Purple members could use within the dao.

Bookcasters everywhere weep with joy 🥲

Congrats on the launch! The UI is so clean 🙌

@launch Pincaster —  discover interesting topics on Farcaster

Right now it's just Amazon and Goodreads links, in this order: Number of unique users > number of casts

This is awesome! Can't wait to discover all the books that have been recommended on here so far. How are top books ranked? Is it based on how many ppl have shared an Amazon or Goodreads link of that book?

Yes! You're literally describing OG Pincaster 🥲

in a future iteration could i @pin things to my own collection?

Thanks so much Chris! There's a lot of thought behind, I really appreciate it ❤️

This is good fun, i used to love Moments on Twitter, disappointed to see it go. I love that you have it organized around books at the start.

Congrats on the launch! Excited to see more categories soon!

Love it. I was first sceptical because the name reminded me of Pinterest

Love the idea! Great example of being able to bootstrap new ideas with an interoperable data layer
