If you'd like to support Farcasters writing long-form content, please give a boost to the quoted cast here! All the funds earned from this Purple x Octant retro will go toward /firstdraft members (so maybe it's a good time to sign up, anon?)

even Linkedin is doing minigames now although I call BS on the motive ("games forge relationships, and relationships are at the heart of everything we do") obviously a way to just get people to come back every day, right?

Thinking about adding more structure to the weekly /firstdraft co-writing sessions Instead of 60 minutes of silent writing, it’d be something like: 15 minutes chat and brainstorming 30 minutes writing 15 minutes sharing & feedback

“Don’t just build something people want; build something people want to be a part of” I know @gaby meant this in terms of storytelling, but it also resonates as someone who wants to build things that bring people together https://open.substack.com/pub/gabygoldberg/p/joining-rostra

New "social" app called SocialAI where you have a bunch of AI followers I do genuinely understand the appeal but this is the most Black Mirror thing I've seen this year (and that's saying something) https://x.com/michaelsayman/status/1835841675584811239

Considering setting a few North Star metrics for First Draft Club Obviously I want to boost subscriber numbers, but I also want people to be successful. If someone joins and never posts that's a big failure in my eyes Any ideas for metrics to track? - % of new subscribers that post on their first week - % of active subscribers that post each week - Total posts per month

Idea for the new user cold start problem: If you are a Top Caster for a day, you also unlock a “Boosted Invite” That invite can be shared with a friend, who gets their Farcaster sign up fee waived and also gets a Boost for their first day
