A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

Damn, Farcasters can ship!

if somebody wants to ship their first farcaster project to prod, give it a proper url and everything feel free to fork this https://github.com/wojtekwtf/fc-ama-formatter

built with @neynar, can get some good views if you cache it nicely and give it a url like fcama.com/vitalik etc

best farcaster developers build on neynar.com | /neynar

if only it was as easy as forking to start working on it

in the good old times it was

now you have to doagic with signers, api keys, private keys, mobile sessions just to start developing for farcaster

@dwr i've heard in your talk you want more devs, but revealed preference is the opposite

it's extremely tedious

cto @ bwl.gg (lunchbreak.com), 80M+ users (bdut.ch) 🙏 built @remindme, @mintit, @gpt, @healthbot, farcantasy.xyz

Revealed preferences:

- Active developer count at an all time high

- Most developers care about DAU and growth, willing to deal with some complexity assuming that exists

ngl literally the same thing i've heard from the tg team when i was pointing out issues that can be easily solved

ofc active devs are all-time high, the product grows and brings more people

they aren't here because of the *unnecessary* complexity, but despite of it

these aren't mutually exclusive: you can both work on qDAU and *not* reduce the quality of documentation and packages

you had it perfect before, now it's virtually impossible to start building if you either:
1. junior
2. senior without much time or desire to read bad docs

ask half dozen of people who dm'd me about it

> they aren't here because of the *unnecessary* complexity, but despite of it

They're here because:

1. There are potential users today
2. The prospect of users in the future assuming grow qDAU
3. The system technically works, despite some complexity

The existential issue is growing qDAU by 1000x.
