curious: how do you “detect if they have a farcaster account”?

Used to be Searchcaster only, now Merkle also has an endpoint for it too :)

There’s an endpoint in either the FC or Searchcaster APIs (don’t remember which) that lets you lookup an fid given a users connected address; on Paragraph we have the connected address so we just query if an fid is returned
