A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

If there was a way to access vector embeddings for every cast in FC history, what would you build with it?

Something I built with our vectorDB early on is a chrome extension that shows you to show similar casts to a specific tweet or YouTube video!

I think it is a cool way to vampire attack X/Twitter and "steal their algo" for someone who have users who connected their X/twitter accounts! @suji @v 

Maybe I need to bring it back to life 🤔

The embeddings worked-ish, and the problem at the time was not enough content (this was a 2 years ago!!!)

Now we have better embeddings models tailored to short form casts and soon finetuned on FC data & more content... that's why I think it can be cool to try out again

Did you find it to be a good enough UX such that you'd actually use it? Or mostly surfacing garbage/irrelevant content? 

(That is partially a question of how good the embeddings are, and partially a question of how good the actual content is on FC for any given topic)
