Farcaster

im really not convinced by other fc clients yet. i want to be. nook had a good chance.

I don’t think we need other general purpose clients right now

It’s a hard sell to compete against Warpcast (shoutout @woj.eth and SC for being ballers)

It’s like what Dixon said in that podcast - it’s not even the existence of an alt client that gives users leverage, but the ability for one to exist

customer support @supercast

trying to sound smart /doingnumbers

I think we index too much as an ecosystem on the idea that "client" = app that looks very similar to warpcast

there's absolutely something interesting here. Some ideas:

- rss for recipes (lol)
- “save” a recipe and an LLM translates it into to a better UI
- pinterest style feed of things to cook / make
- chat box on each page to ask questions about the recipe
- easily share to farcaster + show likes / recasts / quotes / share replies
- really good recipe recommender algorithm
- post as your farcaster user — e.g. “@matthew posted a recipe”
- show likes / recasts / quotes + replies + share replies and convos
- automatically generate a shopping list for me
- let me posts “lists” of recipes that people can collect

been wondering if there’s a “recipes app” angle here

buulding on farcaster gives indexing, sharing, and "recipes i like" for free

just needs a little stricter structured content + probably looks way different than warpcast

Based take.

The best farcaster clients won't be clones

The best warpcast features are the ones that make it look *less* like Twitter. Cloning a is a losing strategy. The best clients will be aggressively differentiated.

Don’t think it’s about looks, but about functionality, other client shouldn’t be used for the same things like browsing feed replying posting etc.

But if the functionality is different, UI will follow and will be different as well

We still haven’t seen a channel client and I’m not sure splitting attention from primarily using warpcast is something achievable.

Supercast works well because it targets business people who need multiple accounts, scheduling and other tooling specific to their needs

But majority of users should be happy with warpcast
