I think it's really important to lean into the onchain interactions that are happening between users. Your working theory (as I understand it) to onboard new users is interesting content. I believe that onchain interactions are a rich source of highly interesting social content that is basically not being surfaced at all in the app today. Here's a specific example: I'm in a groupchat with @zinger that we're using to trade. The man is an animal. It's engaging to watch him enter and exit positions. That wallet is probably connected to his Farcaster account. Why can't I see that activity on his profile? It feels like a slam dunk and a huge differentiator to other social networks. Show me when someone sends ETH to someone else. Show me when someone mints someone. Show me when someone is up 10,000x on a meme coin. Show me when someone uses some new DeFi protocol or makes a loan. There are apps attempting this, but w/o Warpcast's reach or eng chops. Eat their lunch. It's all there in the open!

I didn’t come here to see Warpcast eat smaller app’s lunch (the space is too small for this rhetoric) - I came here for Farcaster, an open social graph, and to build with other builders on top. Also, those are two different form factors and different plays. Just use @interface and @frens , before you know it they will have distribution and when it comes to engineering chops, I think you are underestimating those builders…They have that 🐕 in them 🔥

sure i don't know personally know the teams behind interface and frens, but i'm sure they are talented and i've enjoyed using their products. i am a daily active users of frens and a weekly user of interface. both have improved dramatically in a short period of time and i'm sure they will continue to iterate, especially with a chip on their shoulder to build something great this debate has turned into "big app versus small app" which isn't the intention instead, i would suggest we switch the framing to "twitter style implementations of fc data" versus "every other possible client". my point is simply that if you are competing against the warpcast team for a venture scale outcome with a twitter style feed, you better have a damn good differentiator. i think @woj.eth has found a niche of people who love what he's building, and he's been principled about bootstrapping which means he can have a fantastic personal outcome, even with a similar client experience to wc & a smaller audience.

I agree on framing change, even if I have a feeling the end game for all vc backed apps is the « super app » esp in crypto- so I know there is no way around fierce competition which good for users. Just think at the ecosystem level this is not the time for it. Otherwise, what other clients are you excited about that are differentiating?

i've enjoyed when other apps pull in fc data to make the onboarding better and populate my profile with relevant info i have not seen many alternative clients that write to the protocol. if i had to guess, i'd say 99% of my protocol activity (casts, reactions, etc) come from warpcast. the remaining 1% is supercast which i mostly use for the account switching functionality and scheduled casts
