Farcaster

Warpcast *is* the app. 

There aren’t going to be lots of popular interfaces. 

Power laws still apply. 

All the important engagement mechanics happen in the UI.

product @seedclub. i host S-TIER @ X Spaces & i interview crypto builders @ web3galaxybrain.com.

The permissionless Farcaster API will be useful for specialized applications, but there won’t be more than a handful of relevant general purpose frontends and Warpcast will be the biggest.

There is no “client opportunity” because (in 99.9% of cases) ain’t nobody building a habit around your 10% UI deviation from warpcast and you don’t have the stamina to build that habit either.

agree. i built client in the past, some observation:
- when people say "check out my FC account," they link their warpcast.com/profile link, not other client link (even though other clients can display profile well)
- non-Warpcast clients of ~2 quarters ago (Phrasetown, Discove, Jam) "faded" in favor of Warpcast

- X dot com forcing KYC = bullish FC anons
- X dot com limiting API access = bullish FC API-related experiments/products

- vanilla (non-differentiated) client can't compete with Warpcast, some notable differentiated clients: Unlonely, Blobs. "Warpcast but different UI" is not different enough
- Searchcaster has been around since the beginning, lindy, very valuable project
- if you think of Warpcast as a platform, bots are apps
