Why is Warpcast so mobile-centric?
Common complaints
1. I can't sign up on web
2. Sometimes when I use a frame on web, I have to take out my phone
3. This feature isn't available on web
Here's why
1. 80% of Warpcast usage is mobile (see below)
2. Since 2015 or so, all successful, at-scale social products have been mobile first. Even pre-existing desktop networks like Facebook and Twitter pivoted hard into mobile. It's where consumers spend time.
3. While it's likely true that crypto products tend to be desktop-heavy, I would suspect that cryptonatives still spend more leisure time, i.e. time we are competing against Meta, X, YouTube, Netflix for, on mobile.
4. Mobile products have significantly better retention—app installed on a device, ability to send push notifications, deeplinks when a URL gets shared in a external messaging app.
5. Finally, security. Farcaster uses an app-specific Ethereum wallet for identity. There's no good way to do this on web right now. We are bearish on browser extensions. 6 replies
