If we were to work on channels as a developer lego, what should we improve?

Decentralizing existing primitive doesn’t drive network growth. 

So would have to offer something new / compelling.

since apparently the "build another client, not a priority rn, doesn't drive long term growth, etc" is the default response here

(despite the general sense that channels are a rushed, underexplored feature (potential new primitive) where the lack of prioritization and thoughtfulness has led to increased friction and a worse NUX)

is anyone building a channel-focused client? 

i'm incredibly excited about the promise of channels and promise to dedicate a portion of my time, energy, and resources to exploring this with you and supporting you

i am a force of nature, as some of you may know, especially when i'm motivated by both the mission and someone telling me i'm wrong

Hard to build a channel-focused client when channels aren't part of the protocol or there's no APIs!

We have lots of ideas for DMs as part of creator<>collector interactions in Kiosk but aren't prioritizing b/c roadmap for protocol support isn't clear. 

Yes. I’m blocking instead of muting because of the API. If I mute I’m customising my warpcast experience. If I block, my choices can be adapted by other apps
