Is it just me or is Metamask unusable on iOS? The app takes 10 seconds to load, the in-app browser doesn’t load, and I can’t connect to it from browser apps.

My gf got a task at work to manually extract data from 500 emails into a spreadsheet for the entire week. I tried automating it which took two hours to get right. Then we tried ChatGPT and it gave us all the code and output in 5 seconds 🤯 How much can we automate?? https://i.imgur.com/vaSnFas.jpg

I used Linear for school and errands and it worked well for me. Might be a bit overkill but I find it useful to have sprints and a task board for anything that needs to get done

I’m building a wallet that used ERC-4337 at the start. We moved off of it because we felt it was still too early to use

For now FC is better because of the community being small, high quality and highly aligned. The tech and innovation from FC apps will be important for having PMF at scale (similar to how Twitter was propelled by its apps). Good reading related to this: https://www.eugenewei.com/blog/2019/2/19/status-as-a-service

Love that you can read all the Farcaster discussions related to a topic with searchcaster.xyz. It’s the opposite of Twitter search where the results are filled with low quality spam. It would be cool if you could follow topics in the app.

Yep good point, when there’s more adoption from dapps the UX of SCWs can be a lot better. Another big plus of AA: it’s easier for dapps to pay gas fees for the user. The email OTP you’re describing is exactly what we do! For users it’s like using 2FA with your email/another device but the infra is a multisig.

AA helps the adoption of smart contract wallets by making them cheaper to use and easier to build around. The main benefit of SCWs is better security (e.g. no seed phrases, multisig, spending limits) so this would be good for self-custody.

By tiny fraction do you mean that most people that are currently interested in/holding crypto don’t have wallets?

I also think too many focus on the tech and not enough on the users
