A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Frameworks and libraries are nice but I encourage everyone to try building with nothing but standard libs at least once.

Most modern languages already come with good http libs, encoders/decoders, etc. so it's not too much work to setup an http server to handle requests, serving static files, json, etc.

See how far you can get.
Even on the client side you can just use standard dom manipulation and css.

Building /warpcast and /farcaster

Great point! Going back to basics helps deepen understanding of how things work under the hood. It's like learning to drive a manual before switching to an automatic. Mastering standard libs provides a solid foundation that makes troubleshooting and optimizing higher-level abstractions much easier.
