If Warpcast was open source, what are 1-2 things you would want to learn how we do?

Direct casts. Ability to list convos, view convos, reply. Rendering casts. If you all just had an open source component to render casts, that’d be massive for clients.

What's hard about rendering casts?

It’s all the logic around embeds, frames, videos, etc…

In terms of displaying them? Outside of a strict clone of Warpcast UI, wouldn't really work for other clientS?

If you had a standard cast object from the hub, having the ability to render the full Warpcast rendering capabilities is a big thing. I understand there are Warpcast proprietary APIs. But clients right now build nerfed cast (just text and images) rendering because of all that logic.

I guess I'm a bit slow -- what specifically is hard about it? Is it the design? Is it the logic around what to do with two frames, a frame and image, two images, etc.?

It’s not hard in particular - just bandwidth. If there was a component you just plug and play, I’d say there’d be more clients. It’s around rendering videos, images, embedded URLs, embedded casts, threading, mentions, channel links, etc.. just lot more to think about then testing everything.

I would love some guidelines about “quality”. One man’s meme is another man’s shitpost. I’d like to help educate people on what it means to be a good caster but I have no idea what you are looking for.

Trending feed is a good proxy. Not perfect, but correlated with what we want more of.
