lemon3 is an open source program that uses IPFS and Farcaster to allow decentralized file hosting and sharing.

It's a mini Farcaster client and an IPFS node, and allows uploading and downloading files. Lots of rough edges, this is the mvp, but I'm very excited.

I could see myself working on this  exclusively for the next few months. Are there any funding opportunities in the various ecosystems it touches? (OP, Farcaster, IPFS) Should I create a coin? Something else?

I decided to go ahead and ignore the lack of a standard :-)

This is awesome! Exactly what we’ve been talking about (and you’ve been part of some of those discussions) since early last year regarding Farcaster and ways to extend it.

Are you familiar with grove?

Potentially useful.
Picked up some $lemon3 to support.

Love the lock for 30 days.

Up to you of course but reconsider token utility inside lemon3? Would be rad to see this enable you to devote time to this for a few months.

GL!

I don't want to promise utility just to say it will have utility. If the project actually gets adoption, maybe utility will come organically.

Well... There was an FIP to standardize this, but never got through. "If someone builds something that makes sense, we may reconsider" :-)

Also, Warpcast does not support IPFS anyway (but this is not a limitation of the protocol), so the enclosure would be ignored anyway. To be fair, if someone shares a 3h movie in 8K, I wouldn't expect a mobile client to show it, anyway, regardless of protocol.

The timeline of @fc1 has a few embeds, and I'm fine with how they look.

does it make sense for a user to publish casts with enclosures under an FIP-2 URL?

Filecoin has a hackathon going on, I was just about to ask you if I can use your code for the social part of my project, it's called "hack for ai" but I can cover the ai part, and your idea is very very cool

I will definitely support this when you get the funding/donating options figured out.

200 $degen

Could this be a decentralized, censorship-resistant libgen with no takedowns?

Nice job, man! 👏👏👏 I built a proof of concept about a year ago that did something similar. I had a client that allowed you to upload videos, etc., to IPFS, and they were played based on their MIME type in the feed. I had to add fallback content as a frame for other clients, though. This is the only cast from that client that ever saw the light.

very cool, was wishing someone would build an IPFS integration for large image distribution.

This is pretty cool! Been waiting to see someone glue farcaster and ipfs together in some way

question for @stevedylandev.eth with @castkeys and/or @rish perhaps as this is the neynar implementation if i am not mistaken. Seems you need warps to proceed still? we were nudged to swap these all out for usdc in our warplets. will/should this still work? Mine seems to get stuck in this state probs given i no longer have any

Farcaster turning into more than just a social protocol is super underrated. If this takes off, we’re looking at a decentralized WeTransfer alternative.

I’m a software developer with 4 years of web3 experience. Are you looking for a dev to help out on this project.

If you have an idea, there are a lot of people here to help you, love this place.

Sounds awesome love the building mindset!  22 👏
