it’s not violent. There are many lols 😇

me: there's a refresh button in warpcast inside the image

keccers: art i slammed that refresh button like 500 times...

christin (I assume): maybe 501 will do it?

priyanka: (camera-woman)

Find me with my same PFP on GH

That bc we were in the “debugging arbitrary rules made up by Warpcast” portion hehe

"don't send images that take up 1% of my total mobile data plan for the month each time they are shown in the feed" isn't an arbitrary rule fwiw

lmao I would be sympathetic to that if the embed debugger used the proxy same as the feed

yeah the spec should include a max size or something but still i mean... optimize your images is a very common obvious thing to do

ugh no the catchier thing to type would have been

stated specs > revealed specs

artists + vibe coders gotta get more comfortable dodging footguns

well-intentioned technicals gotta think harder about what someone might think to do

ooh the farmer and the cowman should be friends

i hear u and i do think it’s impressive but i also wonder if it doesn’t make more sense for there to just be a tool to launch your own mint frame vs having to code it

I don’t do any of this because I like the work, I do it so I don’t have to pay people who make “launch your own mint frames” 

I would rather chew glass and waste 1000 of my own hours and own the final product e2e than pay 

That way when you decide it’s not worth maintaining or surprise charge me for something or on and on I don’t get got

do u want me to make a website that helps people make their own frames and self host it and etc for any given manifold or etc link ?

No. I want the artists to be the masters of their own destiny not you

i don’t think the artists should have to learn how to code to have their nfts mintable within fc, i think it should be offered to them as an option for free

fwiw, there's both kind of artists in the space. ones like me who would rather do it on their own than wait for someone to build what you're saying.

ideally, the nft platforms need to build their miniapps for artists to use but they're not really paying attention so rn im okay doing my share of "hard work" (on top of what horsefacts and keccers did).

oh and i did see a cast that rodeo will have its miniapp soon.

im very much alike in thinking so, but also, manifold has me spoilt with their ability to deploy contracts for us so easily so learning how to do it myself is one brain barrier further than i'd like. 

when they launched in dec 2021, there was no time to sit and learn with how fast the space was moving so me and my friends adapted to what was a way better option than brokensea. 

right now, i have the luxury to spend time and learn and do it myself.

To me it’s incomprehensible that anyone would want to give up control of the experience idk 

I get there are different views yes yes but my mind boggles all the same 

Being given a fish vs learning to fish 

It used to be way harder to learn to fish
