Farcaster

A lot of complaints recently that Farcaster doesn't have enough "beef".

I'm happy to fight with you.

“A protocol is only as good as the number of independent and thriving clients … on it”

There’s no third party thriving clients.

Third party client devs’ requests and wishes (like decentralizating channels) have been deprioritized for months and thus they cannot permissionlessly innovate, nor compete meaningfully on many aspects.

Have you changed your mind since writing this @dwr.eth, or is Farcaster no good?

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Senior prompt engineer. Shipped on farcaster: @larrybot, @qdau, @frames, @framesfun, /open-frames, farcasterchannels.com, farcaster.id, @mod, @search, @discove

(not a client developer and question seems specific to dwr, but adding my $0.02 anyway)

overall - unless Farcaster DAU grows 100x, companies won't care to build on it for long term

if arguing your point - I think DC APIs are a better example than channel decentralization

if arguing the other side - some things have been prioritized e.g. Explore page that highlights other developers

one could argue re: the relative prioritization but I don't think it's reasonable to draw the conclusion you're drawing :)

agree re DC apis, many such cases. 

I agree Farcaster needs to grow. 

I believe in many teams competing to grow it (to capture value). Warpcast believes in them only growing it, and investing in permitting others to as a waste of their time
