A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

Work in progress

For the more technically inclined: how to think about the Farcaster protocol where it is today and what's left until we've reached a baseline level of credible neutrality.

What's unclear to you?

my understanding is that Discove pivoted, Jam open sourced + divested and that Warpcast now serves channels better than Alphacaster. I assume you still want to solve for multiple independent clients, but in my eyes the multi client vision failed for now. Can you explain where u see this going?

My concern with it goes deeper. If it is Warpcast‘s declared goal to „Alfred-ify“ (compare to Spotlight search on Mac) the best ideas, then isn‘t this a very tough and platform-risky spot for an app builder to be in?

> multi client vision failed now

All of those apps still allow you to cast?

The protocol has 17K total sign ups and is signing up a few hundred people a week. Not ready to support multiple venture-backed apps. Need more growth.
