Always cool to hear about what originally led someone to Farcaster

Good article and an interesting angle. In a world where writers move away from paywalls so their writing can get discovered & sourced by LLMs, what do the economics look like? How does high-value but accessible content get rewarded?

Miniapp related things I’m incredibly bullish on: - letting users do as much as possible before requiring an auth - using miniapp context for magical onboarding (eg, show their avatar or their username) - using FC social graph: bootstrap immediate network effects - seamless transfer from miniapp elsewhere: if users login to your webapp a week later, they should be able to pick up where they left off

Focus is very challenging, because it involves: - making hard decisions (eg, deprecating features you really love when it’s clear they aren’t working) - saying no & disappointing your possibly passionate users - not working on [shiny new thing] when it’s so much more interesting than [grindy thing to get to pmf] - deliberately ignoring [thing on fire] because it’s only slightly important and not extremely important 100% agree with Dan here - startups have a fixed number of shots on goal before they die. Need to always be aggressively prioritizing & focusing on what will get you closer to pmf.

Very cool. Could be a good way to easily share a Paragraph post you’re reading in the miniapp.

Large focus of ours lately is on usability: how do we ensure Paragraph works for everyone, not just those deeply familiar with crypto? The new brand & narrative is a step in the right direction, but we have a lot more work to be done

Great writing deserves to be shared, seen, and supported. But today’s internet makes that harder than it should be. We want to give writers a place where their ideas thrive — and today, we’re launching a new look and a new home at https://paragraph.com. Read more below ↓

I've fallen down a home server rabbit hole over the past few months: - purchased an Intel N100 mini PC - running Proxmox with ~30 LXC containers and VMs - PiHole for network-wide adblocking - Paperless for document scanning, storage, and LLM-based retrieval - Home Assistant for full home automation (lights on/off based on motion, etc) - Plex for media server - nginx proxy manager for reverse proxy to expose services to internet I can understand why people love this hobby

We could support 100% automated crossposting from Substack/Medium/your own blog to Paragraph if we built a way to watch your RSS feed. It’d look like this: - post on [other site] - we grab the post from the RSS feed - we republish it on your Paragraph according to predefined settings you chose (eg deliver it via email)

I blame my first point loss on not knowing I could horizontally scroll the avatars Cc @jc4p it’d be helpful to make it more obvious it’s horizontally scrollable!
