I have lost track of the # of teams working on “Instagram for apps”. 

Wager we see something breakout this year that doesn’t quite fit that metaphor.

farcaster with framesv2 + warpcast wallet

we know that the cost of creation of software is in rapid freefall; this is turning software into a new form of media, where software "creators" will become the next youtubers or ig influencers. study smallbrain for example. 

the logical next conclusion is a great place for a consumer company to be is the instagram or yt/tiktok *of software* as they are to images and videos.

maybe warpcast leaning into framesv2 could make it more about being this app for the next generation of software-as-media. the crypto component provides native monetization rails for software creators. the protocol part provides auto identity/auth/social graph for the software that is created on the platform. 

i used to think farcaster was "programmable social" but maybe it's the inverse: social software

I'm not sure what this guy meant, but I think the idea is that as it becomes easier to do more with tiny teams, "software creators" become more and more common. And instagram was the place where the creator movement started.

I think @six was spot on here:
