ok farcaster, let me introduce https://thefarcasterexperiment.com/ to you all basically, @dwr.eth claims that there were no breaking changes and only my stuff is broken or that neynar (cc @rish) had something broken well, let's test what @dwr.eth is saying. i launched a farcaster hub from ground up, then connected to it with official node js farcaster lib, then made @healthbot use this hub no third-party software. no me touching the backend, nodejs dependency or the hub let's see for how long this can last, i give it 2-3 months before there is a breaking change that makes me touch the code to make a thing as simple as publishing a cast every hour going again, all native farcaster hub stack, no extra dependencies, just something that "still works since the time it went permissionless" or whatever what are your bets? when will it break? this is a true stress-test of dev trust being broken or upheld

another note on the whole process: it takes me 123 lines of code (https://github.com/backmeupplz/health/blob/main/src/helpers/publishCast.ts) to *simply publish a cast*, it took me like 2 lines of code before this whole signer with hub business got started @v the docs on hubs and node js lib are *drastically* outdated, a lot of the sample code simply doesn't work in the docs, i had to go read a ton of example code in the repo just to figure out how to do `publishCast('hi')` still, it *should not* take 123 lines of code to publish a cast when i'm already using an official node js lib that must encapsulate all this complexity

We are moving to a new version of the protocol in January called snapchain. So it will likely break then. We're not a mature, at-scale protocol. Still actively being built. I understand that you're busy with your own startup that you don't have time to follow along with all the changes. But the vast majority of active developers on the protocol, when surveyed, voted for moving faster and focusing on user growth vs. moving slower and making sure everything is stable.

there will be a breaking change in q1 2025 for snapchain :) this will be the first breaking change for these particular apis since nov 2023, which i think is a reasonable pace for breaking changes.
