Is this bad for the network?

- The network is too small to matter yet! We need to get to 10M daily active users — at least 200x growth from here (likely more) before there are enough users for multiple independent Twitter-style client businesses can work. That may even be too small.

- That said -- there are opportunities for orthogonal clients, power user clients (e.g. Supercast or Buoy), open source clients (Herocast), passionate projects, performative art clients, DAO-funded clients (e.g. Nouns). 

- I said "Play a different game" a while back and got mocked. OK, if you want to play the venture-scale (and venture-backed) game, you're self-selecting into a brutal competitive, always thinking about user growth and retention game. And you're competing mostly against Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Netflix (since time is zero sum and most of it is not on Farcaster).

Don't confuse this with Farcaster is irrelevant to drive business results!

What I am missing is DC‘s in Supercast with the sidebar style replies and threading (am close to just forking Zulip and seeing if cursor can adapt it to FC code 🤣)

Recaster mobile is more responsive then warpcast‘s app but DC‘s make me go back and the algo feed if I just wanna consume vs reply

Btw once local first tooling becomes way better I foresee incredible clients syncing app state to the client for just what they need similar to what @stephancill did with his lazy indexer

i also vehemently disagree that it is hard to compete with Warpcast when it has such a high error rate. it’s not even close to consumer standard. i have bug fatigue at this point and stopped reporting all the problems because the bug reports generally get ignored anyway…

this isn’t even hypothetical; folks are using similar clients at an increasing rate.

to create a truly first-rate experience is probably going to take more time and funding than most founders or investors think it’s worth, though
