I’d love to hear feedback about Next / Vercel / v0 / AI SDK etc from this part of the world.

We proudly host and power some amazing crypto projects on our platform and always looking to get better.

I dream of a social network of software. It’d be interesting to explore what Farcaster Frames x v0.dev could look like.

Imagine if shipping was as easy as posting.

Fun OSS encounter story: 15 years ago, the WebSocket spec just came out and preliminary implementations were live. I wanted to prototype a little in-browser MMO, but the one implementation out there was node.websocket.js by an Argentinian fella named Guillermo Rauch.

Guillermo's library was only half-working for what I needed, so I ended up forking it and rewriting it entirely (https://github.com/shazow/node.websocket.js). I suggested some of the changes upstream, we discussed over email. I built my demo using my fork, while Guillermo also did a rewrite that became socket.io which was fantastic! So good that I didn't feel the need to keep working on my fork.

It's funny to think that there's an alternate universe where I went on to build the urllib3 of nodejs websockets.

It wasn't until yesterday that I realized: That Guillermo is the same @rauchg who went on to create /nextjs and founded @vercel. I didn't stand a chance! 🙇

Open source doesn’t happen in a vacuum and it’s the result of sharing and learning from the work of others. Great memories of the beginning of socket.io and @shazow.eth’s part in the story.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Warpcast has better UX than X. The “staging” of a reply or new post with the ability to undo is glorious.

stack.so is so clean. Lovely to see the DX of a crypto-native solution that rivals / exceeds centralized APIs.

What’s the best resource to learn more about frames and deploy my own?

When Hal said goodbye to the Bitcoin community as ALS progressed he said he “operates the computer using a commercial eyetracker system”.

Even in the worst case adoption scenario Apple Vision will change people’s lives dramatically.
