Some new user onboarding feedback and observations on Farcaster / Warpcast from volunteering at the Farcaster Impact Booth at Devcon - newcomers were confused why there was normally a sign up fee to try out the app and found it unappealing. Also didn't understand why it was Warpcast and not Farcaster they were downloading - lots of people had Warpcast downloaded but never really used it. Had heard people say they dropped off when they didn't know anyone, didn't understand its appeal over Twitter, or felt it was an echo chamber - things that resonated when I introduced people to why I liked Farcaster: channels are like Reddit + Twitter since I can see a feed of just a specific topic or location and connect with people that have similar interests, showed the ability to do onchain transactions within a frame from a post (obvious Twitter can't do anything like this natively), it's permissionless to build on so we don't have to worry about API access getting cut off
