Saturday sneak peek 🫣 To showcase the power of Farcaster’s protocol and Pinata’s API, I’ve been building Absorb. It’s a spiritual successor to Vine. https://www.getabsorb.com

It’s currently invite only as I test it and improve…and there’s a lot to improve. But it showcases the power of building on open networks. IPFS + FC is a big step forward.

Interesting things I learned in the process: - Videos recorded in Chrome’s browser are encoded as webm - Safari can’t play webm - HLS streams only work if the video can be encoded (a struggle sometimes with webm unless you know what you’re doing…which I don’t)

- 6 seconds of video recorded on iOS creates a huge request payload that can sometimes trip up Next.js - The MediaRecorder API is so robust and useful - Client side auth with FC is a beast

- IPFS gateway links desperately need better rich preview functionality so links don’t look like this farcaster://casts/0x6b5a735268a01df0c4b70ba2c8a867bc050b7a16c6b737eebf4c86606eaa0065/0x6b5a735268a01df0c4b70ba2c8a867bc050b7a16c6b737eebf4c86606eaa0065

This post is how rich preview should look on links through IPFS in a perfect world. farcaster://casts/0xe373091452ddc093475c8345eb6db1a9f50a291683beba1829531db4569e3edd/0xe373091452ddc093475c8345eb6db1a9f50a291683beba1829531db4569e3edd
