@keccers.eth shares a detailed guide on how artists can use AI, Replit, and no-code smart contract platforms like Highlight and Manifold to launch their own custom NFT minting experiences on Farcaster. "At the end of the day, an NFT is just a wrapper. What you wrap — art, access, memories, patronage, gameplay — is up to you." https://paragraph.com/@keccers/making-your-own-farcaster-mini-app-as-an-artist

Sandra Rhee writes that vintage catalogs like Sears’ succeeded because they embraced artistic, human-centered design, in stark contrast to today’s rigid and monotonous digital shopping layouts. "The reason mail-order catalogs were able to flow, be readable, and incentivize Americans to flip through them for hours is simple: People took time to design it." https://sandrarhee.com/what-mail-order-catalogs-did-better-than-modern-ecommerce

@kaloh argues that stablecoins, especially with Stripe’s recent adoption, are rapidly becoming mainstream payment tools and quietly onboarding millions into the crypto ecosystem by reducing entry barriers. "Stablecoins aren’t just good for payments — they’re unlocking new opportunities across the onchain economy." https://paragraph.com/@kaloh/stablecoins-are-the-trojan-horse-of-crypto

@jonathanking dives into how autonomous AI agents operating on blockchains are creating a new agent-driven digital economy, laying the foundation for an emerging “Agentic Web.” "Commerce could become a machine-speed, always-on affair, with agents negotiating deals, executing contracts, and exchanging value in seconds." https://paragraph.com/@cbventures/the-rise-of-onchain-ai-agents-apps-and-commerce

@monikazajac reflects on her lifelong perfectionism, especially in chaotic work environments like event planning, and shares a personal shift toward embracing imperfection, messiness, and action over control.

@brandondonnelly.eth argues that Toronto’s amenity space requirements for small-scale apartment developments are financially unfeasible and counterproductive, discouraging the very density needed to support vibrant urban life. "We mandate amenity spaces because amenities are of course good. But it hurts project feasibility, especially at smaller scales." https://brandondonnelly.com/the-city-is-the-amenity
