Farcaster

Founders

Since today's meta is sharing Farcaster invite stories, here's some tough love for consumer founders: you're probably not schlepping enough.

If you strategy to get more users is to open your code editor, you're avoiding the actual hard thing of talking to users and then having them silently reject you after a few days.

The first version of our Farcaster app didn't work on mobile and didn't have follows, at replies, native image uploads, etc.

Go talk to potential users. A lot.

lol you guys @dwr.eth didn't even invite me to farcaster

i never got a twitter DM, there is no nostalgic "wanna check this out?" back-and-forth email and there was no 15 min onboarding call

i just showed up one day, started casting, and never stopped
