nook

Decided today that we’re not going to be working on /nook anymore. It was originally meant for us to play around with and learn new tech and has served that purpose. 

We don’t really see a path forward in continuing to build the client, so we’re going to explore some non-Farcaster ideas instead. More soon!

@anoncast and @nook / prev: manifold.xyz opensea.io

wowow, you seemed so excited not long ago. Is there something that you learned about that turned you off from building on top of Farcaster?

Just not viable anytime soon. Had to be realistic before wasting more time. We also have had a few other ideas queued up

A client has a one-way dependency on Merkle. The only growth option for a client is to acquire new users. Building in crypto is hard enough, no need for the dependency.

Im assuming not viable anytime soon = too many spam accounts, not enough real users?

I’d pay for a client that lets me group users and channels (using and/or logic) into specific lists aka my own cozy corners. 

The spam problem will not be solved at the protocol level. Wish I’d be wrong but don’t see it
