Finally caved and applied for a checkmark for @blockhead’s 𝕏 account.

It was nerfed for the longest time and attracted dozens of spam mentions per day (likely because it mentions “NFTs” in bio) so I never bothered to post much there.

Hopefully the experience is better now.

For anything infra, if it's not open source it's not good for the ecosystem.

@blockhead lets you choose which infrastructure providers power its interface.

Open-source, closed-source, centralized or decentralized – I hope to support as many as possible. There’s a spectrum of trade-offs.

If any one of them fails, shuts down or becomes dishonest or malicious, switching is just a click away.

New @blockhead integration: added the ability to query blocks, transactions and verified smart contract source code via @blockscout.

Pleasantly surprised to see support for REST, GraphQL, Ethereum JSON-RPC AND Etherscan-compatible APIs in one place. Very handy.

Open-source Ethereum infrastructure for the win 🛠️

Blockscout is the most widely used full-featured open-source block explorer.

Why @blockhead?

Composability and transparency are web3's biggest strengths.

There's lots of public web3 infrastructure available, but information is fragmented and hard to decipher.

Relying solely on Etherscan or a protocol's "official" UI as the source of truth for onchain data is unacceptable.

We need open-source, decentralized alternatives that are easy to use, transparent about data sources and offer users choice.

dude, i was doing some messing around w/ chat gpt to create a degen persona, and it gave me this line: 

"- Use tools like Blockhead, Footprint Analytics to monitor investments"

Introducing @blockhead's new and improved Farcaster client.

Mix and match indexers and feed algorithms from @airstack, @neynar, @openrank and @pinata!

You may see different feeds depending on the capabilities of each service – trending, recent, casts in a channel, casts by a user or casts personalized for a user.

What I love about @blockhead’s local-first, data agnostic design is that once you’ve warmed your client-side cache with a few different “Farcaster Source” options, you can quickly see which fields/indices are missing and compare how up-to-date their like/recast/reply counts are.

I don't really know what to use it for since I can just post updates in the /blockhead channel, but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.

@blockhead’s Farcaster feed-switching feature is almost ready – just need to migrate to @pinata's updated API response format.

Updated @blockhead’s TypeScript client for @pinata to support today's new endpoint formats. Whew!

I need to rethink how I'm coloring these translucent card backgrounds 😂

Next up for @blockhead: switch between @neynar, @openrank or @pinata as the indexer powering the Farcaster client.

Coming soon to @blockhead's Farcaster client: infinite scrolling.

I've had `gql.tada` installed on the @blockhead codebase for automated GraphQL ↔︎ TypeScript bindings, and as a side-effect I can see @airstack shipping new features to their GraphQL API in real time.

Dozens of commits like these over the past few months!
