Have seen a few casts recently on how we should attract more developers to Farcaster

In talking to developers building on Farcaster today—and developers who built on Farcaster previously and then stopped—the top request is more users.

Why more users?
- More users on Farcaster means more people to potentially use their product
- If the product is a business, more usage means more opportunity to make money
- Acquiring users for an app or service is *really* hard

felt this in a real way recently. launched clank.fun on Farcaster and only later, reluctantly, on X

X now drives 95% of traffic, FC < 2%. I haven’t posted on X in over a year before this. Now I spend most of my time there (just based on ROI)

don’t mistake this for a FC bearpost

let's build clank.fun. prev: web3 founder, improbable, github, amazon. ntik.me

to me, everything that Merkle is doing is moving the needle in the direction of more users. But topping the scales will likely take years - you don’t beat a decades-established social network in weeks or months

it’s more than worth sticking around for the journey. especially if you believe in programmable and censorship resistant social

Focus on what brings results, even if it's not where you initially intended. Prioritize efficiency over personal preferences

Focused on where the traffic is coming from for Clank.fun, primarily from X rather than Farcaster. Prioritizing ROI over personal preferences when it comes to platform usage

Thanks for sharing. And congrats on the success with clank.fun! 👏

You can launch on FC to have some people test your product and get it ready for mass adoption
