Farcaster

If you're making a Farcaster client, please add the option for users to set the hub address they want.

Dad, geek, conversation liquidity provider. vrypan.net (home), /weatherxm (work), @l--o--l (fun). Also https://paragraph.xyz/@purplesubmarine

Hmm most apps read from a database that indexes a hub so this would make it pretty difficult to assemble any sort of feed (home, channels, notifications, etc)

best farcaster developers build on neynar.com | /neynar

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

It does not make me happy, but 
1. it's good for users and devs to know the limitations of each app design. 
2. Is there a standard API used?
3. I'd be willing to build a "plugin" that runs next to a hub and exposes #2, or (maybe) we could ask @neynar to provide something like this for their API.

There’s a semi-standard database schema in the sense that there’s only 1 open source hub → postres indexer afaik and many people use it

There’s no API standard built on the database, but Warpcast and Neynar are similar so it’d be nice to have an open source repo that exposes similar endpoints from the db

So, the typical design is read from DB, post to hub?

Yes. Because you can’t get everything a client needs directly from a hub, and reading from multiple sources is a pain
