I think the unifying trait of all farcaster-ers is that none of us peaked in high school.

The only thing I was peaking at was number of missed classes. Mostly morning ones, after spending all night typing in a command line

I was AFK for 2 weeks
Now I’m at Farcon
My brain will explode

Excited to meet you all in person!

I start hearing roosters

What algorithms for parsing font files and rendering vector shapes look like when implemented in practice.

So many edge cases to consider!

Typography in computers is such a fascinating topic. Early Apple nerdsnipped incredible mind when they innovated on this front in the last century 

In 1991 they released TrueType with first font anti-aliasing and streamlined file format that is used to this day

Glad to see JSON Schema making it to the mainstream. It's insanely powerful and the open source community around is top notch

Who knows, maybe JSON-LD will join the party soon (ie. within a decade)

An interview with Telegram founder, Pavel Durov.  A decade and 900 million users later, he is still the sole owner of the company. If you use the app it's probably good idea to learn more about the brain behind it.

When everyone is nice, everything is uncertain

Chronic niceness leads to communal illusions, slow growth, and hypertension

Treat niceness with autism

I only use light mode on everything 100% of the time

I use automatic light/dark mode to spice up my digital life

I haven’t seen @aviationdoctor.eth or /thomas casts in my feed for weeks now. How do I get them back on? How does the feed even works?

A plea to go with the name Quality Notifications or q/notifs for short

We have a working demo of an external feed provider within @nook. This feed is being sourced from @entropybender’s API.

Rather than spending time building our own algorithms, we want to allow any developer to publish their algorithms on @nook for any user to consume.

Coming soon!

Custom algos for Farcaster. This will be a major feature for onboarding more users to the protocol

Many problems are easy when run on a single thread

Context switching and coordination is a quite an overhead, both in meatspace and cyberspace

No great thing is knitted from a single thread though!

Asking for write permissions after composing a cast is very thoughtful and respectful. @nook is very promising!

I'm amazed we're surviving all of it

Put dolphins in our shoes, and they'd all be dead within a week
