#2 priority is direct cast apis. 

Accounts will be able to programmatically message users who opt in. 

Expect this to ship soon.

#3 priority is feed quality. 

Iterating on ML systems and other features to make your feed more relevant and find interesting casts you may like. 

We'll be doing a lot of small experiments over the next month.

#4 priority is scaling hubs to 1M users. 

We've made some significant improvements to sync, and are turning our focus to storage. Specifically, making Hubs faster on disk drives of all kinds.

#5 priority is improving app reliability. 

We've made significant improvements to the reliability of Warpcast <> Hub message processing. 

Now focussed on client side improvements - reducing crashes, improving battery life usage and more.

#1 priority is channels.

Channels will become fully decentralized, so that you can own them onchain and use all functionality from any client. 

This may take 2-3 months to ship since it requires onchain work.

Talking about point 1. Which parts of FC are fully decentralised, which are sufficiently decentralised and which are you guys planning to decentralise further?
