It'd be great to have them show in the address bar on mobile too! Otherwise useful info cannot be accessed on mobile.

So many open-source projects have become so hardcore focused on politics and wokeism, alienating anyone who doesn't agree with them, that they can no longer focus on the software.

bullish on the fact that some of the most exciting new projects throughout the ai bot, token, and zk metas of the past few weeks are open source, because:
-  folks can learn more from/trust the code more
- opens up even more opportunities for contributions/collabs

Farcaster Devs

We'll be working on improving the docs for Farcaster over the next few months. We hear you on Notion docs are suboptimal (we've biased for speed in the past).

As a reminder, we're trying to add the features that are still only available via Warpcast APIs to the docs website.

Channel APIs
- Everything other than creation is now available via signer-based APIs
https://docs.farcaster.xyz/reference/warpcast/api

DC APIs
- We added group creation and management APIs a few weeks ago, likely to change quite a bit
https://warpcast.notion.site/Direct-Cast-API-Reference-Public-1276a6c0c1018089af2bda0d1697a2fd

App Frames
- Work in progress, likely to change quite a bit
https://docs.farcaster.xyz/developers/frames/app-frames

Open source it all. Literally every last piece of the fucking stack.

There are evil companies who are locking in devs under the veil of pretty marketing and “vibes”. They should be considered as much a threat if not more than every legacy institution we aim to replace.

They’re a disease in our industry spreading like wildfire, turning the new internet into a mirror image of the old internet.

Open source every last line of code.
