If you were BDFOWF, what would you have us work on?

@dwr.eth / @v / @horsefacts.eth can we PLEASE get a way to sage posts? I want to be able to comment on things without feeding their algo boost

anywhere the cast button is visible, pressing the `n` key should open the composer

wait if they add a watch list to the wallet i might not need dexscreener again

@v what's stopping us from having the cast sent confirmation we deserve

my skills in the area are so bad I hesitate to call stuff like this out 

Emojis are too big

Unbelievable! The suspected owner of a deep-web marketplace just walked free due to a police blunder! 

In shocking footage, two officers are seen "working" behind the suspect's computer. One officer pulls out a flash drive and destroys everything as the data self-destructs! 😱💥

But how did this actually happen?

I've thought a lot about channels since they opened up to the public in late 2023.

After various iterations, I now strongly believe channels should be entirely permissionless, as in:
- no owner
- no moderators
- no fees

Gatekeeping topics adds friction to the entire network. See /ai vs /aichannel vs /theai. Everyone wants to talk about AI but no one wants to curate or moderate these channels.

Why would they? The rate of noise will only ever increase as automation improves, and Farcaster clients should be doing a lot of the noise filtering anyway.

Curation happens with likes, recasts, and replies. The best posts already get picked by the algorithm feeds.

With this framing channels become singular hashtags. No one likes hashtags because without limits they become #SEO #maxing #word #slop. A single label strongly signals the in the intent of the message. It also allows for easy mixing by quotecasting, e.g. /dont-do-this, /someone-build, etc.

Channels as a label wouldn't work. So I propose: Contexts

If we want to see this place grow I believe this is the right path ⬇️

Some tokens show ‘platform’ Details when displayed in the wallet. What is the data provider used for that information?

If a 65 year old family member, who is a bit behind in retirement savings, gave you $50k to invest right now with hopes of stretching out their retirement funds, where would you put it?

i haven’t onboarded someone in a really long time so i didn’t know how to help

Has onboarding become a severely buggy/poor experience? This isn't a legible thing to everyone who's already here, because *insert survivorship_bias_plane.png*

Obviously should be priority #1 b/c generally you only get one shot at acquiring users and first impressions matter.
