Building products? Remember: Form follows function, but function should always follow *human need*.

I've been really impressed with @base and the /base community. They've made steady progress and keeping topping their achievements. Now I just need then to launch their own L1 chain and move from ETH.
The /base ecosystem is already wide and further supports my call for them to launch their own L1 chain. Imagine speed, security, with low/gasless fees? That'll be so based.

Reflections from building products using AI agent workflows:
- Cursor can really feed "founder mode" by enabling you to build small MVPs to test w clients
- Key area of expertise is about making the right design choices from so many options: prompts, agent workflows, which RAGs to use etc.
- GPT for reasoning, Claude for writing individual code pieces, cursor for handling overall repository
Will share more as I go along

Time based token access to individuals in the age of vertical AI and rather improved interoperability indeed demands recombinant innovation.
It's been tried many times before.
It didn't take off as a platform in general, however, individuals have always been able to monetize or capitalize via available tools ranging from traditional payments rails to crypto infra experiments re: payments.
You can all build a platform where people "sub" to individuals. Yet, do those people with dominant information pipeline have any significant private information that can move the idea markets?

Often overlooked in product design is the importance of highlighting benefits with tangible proof. Focusing solely on features can lead to product failure, as consumers need to understand how a product solves their problems.
Before considering developing a new feature, I have learned to ask myself two questions, 1. What value does it bring to the user? What burden/cost does it incur? 2. Why is it needed now? Not in the past or future.
What questions do you ask yourself?

Our ideal basket creation flow.
1. User finds or creates a research on different tokens.
2. User creates a baskset from the tokens mentioned in the report.
3. User shares the basket alongside the research for their audience.
4. The audience buys into the basket of tokens.
5. User earns fees.

it's intriguing how products are solving for distribution once the foundations are set — amps, qr, and these will be followed by many more to fill the blank spaces
building blocks for distribution is the key to take the attention away from centralized platforms

I did a little longer form writing on the QR coin, which I do believe has potential. Read it on X and give it a like if you like it. https://x.com/0FJAKE/status/1897456540786860264
WC Leaderboards are essentially like a points program of farcaster as of now.
Earlier it was about engagement only. Now you get points for invites, depositing $ in WC wallet etc.
Not sure if the best move - but i do see the merit in a unified leaderboard which folks are paying attention to. Thoughts?

I really love Monad's strategy. Develop your L1, get devs to build dApps, start a compaign for the layer and dApps. That way users get to test the layer across various dApps to ascertain their speed, ease of use, etc. Very well payed guys! 👍

Generally love the idea of a creator-led, creator-first product, but execution is everything.

Emerging trends in social media product design for 2026 include AI-driven personalization, voice-first interfaces, and immersive visual experiences, all aimed at creating more authentic and engaging user interactions.
Interesting angle on no-code but really helps you streamline a prompt so you cover all aspects of the application a CTO might ask for.

“It wasn't until I was forced to invent a form did I really understood what it meant. The adage "form follows function" is for those tasked to invent the form, not for when you're given it. In my own words, it's this:
If a design is any good, how something looks, feels, and works is a naked expression of its function, its algebra, its rationality–its underlying nature. To design a form, you should not just come up with it out of thin air. You have to attack the problem obliquely and work out its function first. Once the function–the underlying nature, internal consistency, and algebra–is worked out, the form will fall out as a consequence.”

maybe it’s time we stop saying, “you can easily create an account and pay.”
waitlists are a turn off for me especially when coupled with a bunch of "launched" announcements
"private beta launch" doesn't feel as bad

It's weird to read about Notion's origins being rooted in minimalism and user-oriented design
And then go use the product where they've spray and prayed AI CTAs everywhere
I guess if you are a big enough tech company, you *have* to lean into AI or else your investors will get upset (note: this is a cargo cult)

Farcaster has the best brain to DAU ratio.
Since we launched our Basket creation contest yesterday, I talked to a dozen of folks and how they want to use Basket.
They are coming up with some usage that I could not even imagine since we started the product.

somebody should build a news app with .polymarket integrated in it
lots of medium-large companies doing bundled releases now following airbnb
creates well integrated, cohesive user experiences
also serves as an effective marketing tool

Every now and then, I wonder why Instagram has not prioritised filtering someone's posts by year (and month) :(
The 1st step of improving your product is to start measuring.
Is there a KAITO like product for farcaster? would love to see mindshare for different tokens, users on FC.

Wrote a little note here on @paragraph ty for reading if you get around to it.

anyone built an onchain product and tried sharing it on a suitable subreddit?
While testing products, one thing I came to realize is that some teams are more dedicated than others. The dedicated teams are always looking for ways to improve and steadily rolling out updates, who others will sit with issues for a while before fixing them. It's one reason I'm impressed with the team at @rainbow, you don't need anyone to tell you how dedicated they are, the product speaks for the team.
You must assume your target user is default lazy
