For anyone that’s investigated this, what’s the technical difficulty with a channel-focused client? Serious question.

IMO very few. You can still only create channels in Warpcast but that shouldn’t stop anyone. Republished from a GC: if you asked me to build this "channel-focused client" I would: 1) Approach it more like an "app" than a "client." Cut out most of the stuff a generic "client" has to do (signups, follows, feeds, search, notifications, chat). If you want to do that, use Warpcast or any of the 10 other clients. 2) Focus narrowly on a really good channel viewing and management experience. Try to do better at surfacing and curating interesting content. Add an integrated curation/moderation tool. (There is a huge underexplored programmability surface here with automated moderation). Add stuff like downvoting, threading, etc. Build on what already exists. 3) Expand to some unique channel focused features: a gated chat, private content, more UI customization, pinned posts, integrations with spaces/blogs/newsletters/subscriptions/events. 4) Monetize by subscriptions, focus on getting 100 power users to start.

More lack of protocol, GTM, and market support. You don’t have DMs/groupchats on the protocol level. You can’t expand the market easily since you cannot bring communities here without them paying $5/member.

Don’t think there’s much of a technical barrier, more of a product and GTM challenge Not sure what @ted has in mind but I don’t think it makes sense to have an app that’s only focused on one (or a few) channels (too narrow) and I also don’t think people want to check channels individually (too much work) so you basically end up back with an algo feed similar to Warpcast et al I do think they could do a better job of leaning into channels on WC but doubtful that there’s enough space to create an entirely different app

channels aren’t part of the protocol yet, Warpcast only
