This is something I've been building for the last couple of weeks. The idea is a personalized feed of 100 casts selected every day, based on casts (and replies) from your follows. It works for me, it may work for you too, but I'm not sure it's ready for prod yet. I wanted to wait and get more feedback from people I shared it privately, but... why wait? Even if a handful of people sign up, their feedback, as paying users, will be really valuable. So, if you expect a super-polished product, wait. At least wait to hear what others will say about it. But if you're ok paying $3 to try something still in beta, please do! And share unfiltered feedback (after all, you are a customer). (Side note on feedback: The worst thing you can do to someone working on a product is to tell them it's great when you know you won't buy/renew. Share your unfiltered thoughts.)

Many people hold impressive job or academic titles, and say stupid things. Don't get blind sighted by impressive titles. Listen, but think for yourself.

I think that many of the problems devs face when coding with LLMs can be traced back to the context window. My uneducated guess is what we usually describe as "when the code gets complex, the LLM starts breaking things" is because the agent can't fit the whole code in its context, and it has not good way to decide what is the right context to use in order to do what we ask it to do. Do you think we will see LLM-friendly or LLM-optimized programming languages? What would they look like? For example, humans break down their code to packages and libraries, etc. in order to manage and maintain it more efficiently. Would an LLM-optimized language do something similar but try to break down code in units that fit in a context window? Maybe designed so that the source code requires fewer tokens (even if it's not human-friendly)? Or have a way to efficiently "summarize" the functionality (api/interface) of a code unit so that it can use it in other units efficiently? Are there any projects working on something like this?

Has anyone worked on (or even better, built) a steampipe plugin for Snapchain? Would you be interested if I built one? https://steampipe.io

Now that we have at least two major Farcaster clients, can we please revisit this FIP? FIP-202 describes how Farcaster clients can add an HTTP header to their HTTP responses. The header will allow other Farcaster clients to identify the Cast or Profile the URL refers to. https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/202

Really good work on branding. You can tell when a professional team has worked on a logo, usually by its simplicity. - "base is not coin" (but it's related) - "base is the foundation you build on" - "base is solid" - "base is friendly" I wouldn't be surprised if they already have the visuals with the blue square being "the base layer", and other blocks stacked on top of it. (If this was the brief to the creative team, give them a shout out, they did it :-)

Frames v1 had signed payloads. Is there something like this on MiniApps? I'm not interested in something that requires user interaction, like signing a wallet tx or siwf. I want an HTTP request that is signed by the Farcaster client. Example use case: A miniapp wants to submit game score to the backend, and I want to make sure that the request comes from the actual user.

WDIM users feedback so far: 1. Smooth onboarding 2.The media feed is a hit, everyone likes browsing photos. 3. Opinions on the text feed diverge, in part because people's feeds can be soooo different based on who they follow and how many users they follow, and how their follows cast. 4. Seems that most of my users would like a 10-item feed that summarize what happened the previous day. I had tried to address #4 in previous versions with little success, but I finally nailed it. Now I have to find the sweet spot between LLM cost and results, before releasing it. https://farcaster.xyz/vrypan.eth/0x3dc53a57

As I'm trying to optimize WDIM feeds, I realized something: people follow accounts that they don't like, in the sense that they are not interested in what these accounts say, and they'd rather not have them in their feed. I've done it too. Someone I followed 2 years ago, because they left a kind comment, or because they were working on something that seemed interesting, or said something smart. And now I go to their profile and I'm like "I don't want these posts to occupy valuable space in my feed, why do I follow them". I've also been on the receiving end of this. Over the many years I've been online, my interests, my passions and how I use social networks have changed multiple times, so I'm probably not very relevant to people who followed me years ago.

Even if WDIM is not the feed for you, take a step back and look at the big picture: Open access to Farcaster data + Miniapps allow any dev to create their own feed using their own rules, and address diverse needs. You don't like "the algo"? Build your own, and users can use it, **inside** Farcaster. Actually, inside any Farcaster client.

I find it interesting that TBA displays fnames as ens names. I think I like it.
