it would be valuable for neynar to have simple and rate limited api key's for people that are tinkering with the protocol the 10 usd tier could be a block for many aspiring devs that are looking for free tooling to test things out do i pay for a tutorial or for 1 month of usage of something that i don't know how to use?

@artlu
farquest has FOSS high performance api's. pinata is basically doing this, wrapping some neynar endpoints in a generous free tier. foss.farchiver.xyz lists free open Hubs, which themselves have APIs

@artlu
tutorial writers have collectively chosen to focus on Neynar examples because the DX is really that good to justify the cost IMHO. plus you get no-code frames hosting

to be fair the DX is just being able to run one query vs multiple SQL style queries against hubs. if you have a hosted SQL and a shared foss library to do the queries for you, you're more flexible and get the same DX though the added work + non existance of such a library right now that adds multiple queries makes it well worth 10$ to me + no need to worry about hosting that DB the hub nodejs package is also somewhat nice, but is just directly the hub API wrapped, not multiple queries combined

ok but imagine someone that doesn't know that farcaster exists imagine someone that has never ever coded, any single line do you think that person would pay the 10 usd? do you think that person would pay even the 6 usd for the new account in here? im talking about third world citizens that see on the internet an opportunity to make a living, and for which any penny is an opportunity cost rn there is no easy way to plug and play them
