Lower priority feature requests

- Pinned casts on profiles
- Edit casts
- Animated PFPs

All are nice to have features but don’t solve an immediate top priority

Lounge S3: Designers

Give recasts the respect they deserve: skip the algorithm heuristics and surface them as if I casted them myself while the original caster captures all the incoming engagement.

Bangers can't bang if they don't have a chance to spread organically.

Otherwise we're just stuck talking about crypto and founders 24/7

I would add to this quoted cast

- recasting replies seems to do nothing at all, yet people do it all the time
- lack of virality in recasts could be a reason why @coolvids churned

Maybe it’s a UI thing because from personal experience (and combing through recasts/replies tab of big accounts) it seems like quote casts actually behave this way and get engagement on par with regular casts from the user.

Whereas recasts appear to be walled behind heuristics before actually surfacing, at best getting an extra couple likes. And I don’t think I’ve once ever seen a standalone reply on the home feed.

If treated like root casts I would expect recasts (and other metrics) to quickly compound, as do viral tweets. I’ve only seen this in growth hacked frames that require likes + recasts to work; otherwise the usual signal boosted casts I’ve seen are via quote casts, not recasts.

I don’t mean to nag if under the hood it’s working as intended. Maybe the network is too small still and this is just a consequence of that. I won’t bring it up again unless one day you’re openly asking for feedback on recasts!

Recasts get treated as a cast from the recaster by the home feed algo.
