A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

crypto DX if people used Svelte instead of React

All of your crypto. All of your wallets. All in one place. Your home for everything onchain. wallet.coinbase.com

The real problem is the standards that all of this is built on. @walletconnect and @coinbasewallet have such flaky connections that the Warpcast team needed to embed a wallet into the app to get a decent experience. The fact that you need to approve and then spend in almost every interaction and then wait some indeterminant amount of time between tx's is janky AF compared to most of the UX users expect. 

Let's just ignore the fact that dapps can't really exist and provide a good user experience without provisioning their own private RPCs and hosting infra which mostly defeats the purpose of being distributed. Add to that geographic issues affecting global users from reliably connecting to RPCs.

But sure, it's React's fault for all of the above.

Im the guy that posted all those factory memes once

I agree and it’s a hard uphill battle. The web2 internet was designed to assume apps operate in full-stack silos. Getting two completely unrelated runtimes to sync state on a whim will always be a messy networking and distributed systems problem no matter how you shake it.

(What does React have to do with any of that though? lol)
