Loving this journey for @worqas because it reminds me of my own from so many years ago.

That feeling of writing my first smart contract and deploying it for all eternity is so special.

The disbelief of how easy it is yet the profound consequences we can extrapolate is so humbling and so exciting.

Mini Apps

Frames sparked a ton of creativity and showcased what a composable social feed could look like. Frames v2 were a completely new standard that combined in feed interactivity with fully-fledged web applications. 

The term itself has become confusing since it refers to multiple things within Farcaster. It is also unrecognizable to developers outside the ecosystem.

One idea is to Frames -> Mini Apps. This will reduce term confusion and make it legible to huge ecosystem of developers working on applications in ecosystems like Telegram and World.

What say you?

paid for Storage via @payflow  very convenient and fast! 
@sinaver.eth  is it possible to pay only for reactions?

all Grok can think of is Russia-Ukraine war

Neynar

/neynar now has a free tier 

Read user and cast data, and write casts for free (with rate limits)

we will continue experimenting with what other free blocks we can make available, reach out with any questions or feedback

nice, should make more people to start playing around with frames

Quite precise 🎯

- What you build in a bear may take many months to years to materialize into growth, be extra careful of pivoting away from a diamond mine- 
- Don’t optimize for valuation 
- The most high potential products are the unobvious ones, operating in small / new markets 
- Markets are a bigger predictor of your potential success than your product. Focus on markets. Build a surfboard for the next wave.
- Getting caught into CT trends or narratives is a disease against independent thought and critical thinking 
- VCs are as clueless as anyone, and get caught into CT trends as much as anyone else, there are always exceptions but founders often lean way too much into their advice
- You spend most of your time on stuff that literally does not matter, build products that people love and are gonna talk about to their friends. that’s it. That’s how most big companies got big
- Pay extra attention to who’s building currently, some of them will become massive during the next bull

Received some Warpcast Frame rewards for @payflow this week!

Fun fact: The man on the right—Ukraine’s Minister of Defense, Rustem Umerov—is actually a Crimean Tatar. We went to the same school in Crimea, about 10 years apart, long before the annexation.
