Damn. I just realized the right comp for Warpcast is WeChat (without the CCP part). The fact that WeChat started as messaging and Warpcast started as a forum was distracting me from seeing this. But Frames as Mini Apps and WC Wallet as PayPal make it clear: WC is an Everything* App. *including free speech.

(I ran a business for a few years where we did a big chunk of our sales in China, so I became a power user of WeChat. It’s basically like if you took 75% of the biggest US consumer apps and rolled it into one thing. You pay at Starbucks with WeChat, you share your stories on WeChat, you text your family thread on WeChat, you advertise your business on WeChat, you network for jobs on WeChat, etc.)

definitely agree! I’ve always likened Warpcast with Frames v2 to WeChat and look forward to seeing Warpcast, like WeChat, develop a vibrant ecosystem of mini-apps based on its existing user base. This could enrich user experiences, increase engagement time, and lead the way in driving user growth.

still strongly standing by Warpcast ~ Telegram analogy. One year later it’s getting more clear to me WeChat and Telegram falls under the same category for me, just different geo of power users

Interesting. I have to try more V2 frames. The couple I tried weren't great

warpcast really could evolve into the everything app, but decentralized and free speech-driven.

WeChat was essential for me living in China few years ago. I was surprised at the reliability, speed,… you are right all in one

I also thought this when I first onboarded. The features weren’t that good though so it wasn’t as clear as it is today.
