Warpcast *is* the app. There aren’t going to be lots of popular interfaces. Power laws still apply. All the important engagement mechanics happen in the UI.

The permissionless Farcaster API will be useful for specialized applications, but there won’t be more than a handful of relevant general purpose frontends and Warpcast will be the biggest.

There is no “client opportunity” because (in 99.9% of cases) ain’t nobody building a habit around your 10% UI deviation from warpcast and you don’t have the stamina to build that habit either.

If we’re talking strictly cloning functionality, the client opportunity for a venture-scale outcome will exist if we 1000x qDAU. But if you create a novel social primitive and UX that’s orthogonal then it will work sooner (because you’ll generate your own growth).

Hundreds of millions of users have habits around other UIs, like twitter. I don't see why a great twitter app builder like iconfactory wouldn't be able to compete with Warpcast. I would pay for a farcaster native macOS client by iconfactory.

agree. i built client in the past, some observation: - when people say "check out my FC account," they link their warpcast.com/profile link, not other client link (even though other clients can display profile well) - non-Warpcast clients of ~2 quarters ago (Phrasetown, Discove, Jam) "faded" in favor of Warpcast
