Since today's meta is sharing Farcaster invite stories, here's some tough love for consumer founders: you're probably not schlepping enough.

If you strategy to get more users is to open your code editor, you're avoiding the actual hard thing of talking to users and then having them silently reject you after a few days.

The first version of our Farcaster app didn't work on mobile and didn't have follows, at replies, native image uploads, etc.

Go talk to potential users. A lot.

Super liking this cast.

Also, finally found the initial invite I got to Farcaster from @v early on.

I mean, I work with that Superhuman guy 😅

the rare v invite

and a superhuman flex, ok i see you

Wow. Thats 3 months before I discovered web3. Blows my mind that Farcaster has been around so long. I hope the next trend is stories about what’s changed on FC since then.

Hard to believe there was a time Farcaster was only on mac

You’re one of the day ones too
Happy you decided to join the project and make FC what it is today ❤️

they built this app brick by brick, it’s so wholesome to see
