Embarrassed to say this but I feel like we‘re getting closer and closer to „the first day“ that we REALLY launch Kiwi News. Confused? Two years ago, on here (!!), I launched Kiwi News. Full of hope and within a cohort of founders who now mostly have thrown in the towel. While it was fun at first turned into a waking nightmare. For a long time after launch we didn‘t have our priorities straight. We thought we could do more, so we explored a huge space of features on our product. We had featuritis. At the same time our main product, the content feed, was bad. And there were many bugs… The lesson was really painful when ETH crashed to zero (1600 USD) and our badly planned runway evaporated. You cannot build bad products in bad markets… So we had to admit to ourselves that what we were doing wasn‘t working. That we were doing too much. And none of it well. I think we‘ve now come around to this. Kiwi is now simpler. It‘s a news feed website with the most relevant crypto content. Try it!

@adam-
It’s all a journey to get back to basics. Would you arrive at this point without going through all that? Hindsight is 20/20. In any case you’re clearly have a better idea of what works and what doesn’t.

Is the data all still being backed by Farcaster? (I think that was the case before right?) Would be nice if news posts were actually just posts to a Farcaster channel, and the comments were a comment thread, and the website was a nicer interface for curating and navigating news based on the data available.
