As previously discussed, we're considering renaming the Warpcast app to Farcaster.

Why?
- Top priority is grow users on the protocol
- The name split is extremely confusing for new users
- So, we want to simplify

How we're thinking about it
- Rename Warpcast mobile app
- warpcast.com to farcaster.xyz for web app
- Open source both apps
- No change protocol name, i.e. similar to Uniswap with app / protocol

What we’re doing
- Seeking input and want to make sure we understand concerns 
- Ultimately Varun and I will make a decision; it won’t be a vote.
- Expect a decision in the next week or so; if yes, we will give plenty of notice and will take time to do this correctly / cleanly.

How you can provide input
- Developers: please reply here or feel free to reach out to me via direct message whether you agree or disagree.
- Everyone else: you're free to offer input, but we will be weighting developer input a bit more since it has a bigger near-term impact on what they are building

If you think name and logo doesn’t matter consider that this might never have been a debate if Warpcast name and logo was as cool as Farcaster and the arch

The issue is two names not the quality of the name.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Possibly, maybe even probably. But it’s fun to imagine a world where Warpcast had a cooler name and/or a cooler logo. Is that enough to overcome the underlying dichotomy? Is open sourcing the client the killer move or was it the name change?
Fun hypotheticals but agree with the name change and the thinking behind it.

> Is that enough to overcome the underlying dichotomy?

I don't think name / logo solves the issue that people aren't used to understanding 2 new things.

I’ve used email and Gmail and people got the analogy. Where I struggled was not sounding like an absolute nerd in a community of people who haven’t felt the touch of grass or woman was using the word Warpcast and showing them the MS word logo.
Farcaster and the arch is like the guy she tells you not to worry about.
