The simplest version of making your channel membership more open will be through a frame.

1. Pin the frame as the top cast in your channel

2. A user who isn't a member can click on the frame

3. Frame calls relevant APIs — token-gating, spam filtering, etc. — and the immediately invites any qualifying user to the channel.

4. So while there won't be a formal "request to join channel" built-in to Warpcast, the design allows for any developer to build channel gating software on day 1. 

5. This can also be used in conjunction with other moderation software (since we will now allow up to 10 moderators per channel). Use one tool for membership gating and another content moderation (if that's what you want to do), and use the other 8 moderation slots for people heavily invested in your community.

Would you use a “subscribe to newsletter to join channel” frame?

I've always thought this was a cool idea. 

Would love to add this to Paragraph at some point -- the ability to create & embed markets directly into posts. 

You get built-in distribution via your newsletter, and you could take a rake of all liquidity in the market.

Minor styling feedback on the "new drop" emails - the image is massive! I need to scroll down several times to see the full image. I'd prefer if the width was constrained

Paragraph

Re: the latest newsletter:

"And for the /paragraph channel, will it just be the core Paragraph team? Or will they add their most active creators? Or any creator who even has a paragraph? What if someone wants to give one-off feedback on the product?"

I don't know 😅 I like using it for customer support + feedback so I'd probably err on the side of adding in more people vs fewer.

Idea: Instead of minting blog posts for collecting, we should be minting them for nominating!

Imagine the NYT Best Sellers but instead it's the Paragraph Best Bangers.

A fan of your essay could mint into a nomination pool with a 5 USDC fee (because that's the going rate for bangers), then once a month the best nomination wins the pool prize.

We could even bolt on a prediction market for fans to double down how good the banger is, and get some upside while further contributing to the prize with fees.

How is the winner chosen? MVP could be random, or a specific curator oracle like with Farcaster banger rewards, or a sortition committee aided by the prediction market, or something else?

I'd love to see lots of little Best Bangers nomination pools with different mechanics.

We're working on a Paragraph redesign. 

Modern design, simplified UX, AI features sprinkled throughout, and a heavy focus on social & discovery.

Not the most aesthetic plating, but tried a new recipe last night: Pad See Ew from NYT Cooking.

Turned out pretty well overall!

Food Friday: what was the best thing you cooked this week?

Share pics or recipes!

Contributing to a crowdfund and the "+10,000,000" had me a bit confused / spooked. Unsure what I'm getting in return for contributing

I’m incredibly excited about this https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/13/24243594/united-airlines-free-starlink-wi-fi-connectivity

Here’s @packy talking about finding his “personal monopoly”, or unique writing style & voice.

The idea of writing at the intersection of a few things that make you unique was a recurring theme in talking with writers.

Highly encourage checking out this conversation between @packy and @reidtandy!

What improvements can we make to the Paragraph writer dashboard & discovery surface?

We're actively working on a redesign so hearing painpoints would be helpful.

At least I appreciate the honesty in this cold outreach email

Debate

I'd love a Farcaster client which just displays a real-time, livestream of casts in a channel. 

Eg the /debate channel right now. I can imagine it'd also work for other events.
