A place to talk about software products and the craft of building them
People don't actually want auto-claiming:
- The dopamine hit of clicking claim and getting free money is fun (not a chore).
- The creators of the claim don't want to automatically send out funds that are not going to be noticed or used.
- Wallets want more transacting users and auto-claims don't contribute to that.

The tap + hold to play a video at 2x speed pattern is great, I think TikTok did it first
We believe that much of Web3’s potential has been throttled by forcing protocols into operating within a purely-onchain paradigm. Our solution is to provide a permissionless computing substrate that enables developers to build applications with rich user interfaces -- that also integrate onchain assets. If you have some time to explore Kinode, we'd love to hear your thoughts.
What are yours?
Thoughts on a framework to decide which chains to integrate in product roadmap:
- EVM compatible or not ( high tech effort for most non EVMs )
- Pre Token or Post Token ( highly correlated to froward looking user attention stats)
- Current On chain wallet activity
- Chain / ecosystem roadmap's correlation to dApp category
What other factors to consider?

Let’s have a joyful builder adventure growing Optimism 🔴✨
You’re invited to join the /optimismfractal event on Thursdays at 17 UTC to collaborate with innovators, promote your work, and earn lovely awards by playing the Respect Game. The event provides a great place to attest to weekly progress, experiment with governance, and contribute to the growth of the Superchain!
Hope to see you there! You can learn more about the Respect Game - the profoundly helpful product that enhances decision-making and helps to measure impact. Find links below for more ☕️

i’m more than happy to pay the @interface swap fee to have my swap appear as a copy trade in the feed
running a good product is a lot harder than it looks
oftentimes, the better something is done, the less it is noticed

I was skeptical but this single feed channel change, while failed to provide tolling for channel mods to re-invite w/o guidelines is really paying off.
if I cast something it shows up in the feed AND the bots are down 90% for me.
now bad for a global change?

onchain product idea
problem: memecoin prices don’t actually reflect the value of the community behind the token
solution: memecoin launcher tool with dynamic bonding curve that ties community activity into price

Among all the CEX mobile apps I've used so far, OKX has the worst UX. Didn't they have testers before launch? If it's not simple enough, you're not done building
Being “early” is especially hard because in order to stick around long enough for a market to appear you need to:
- Be right about your long-term vision (hard)
- Correctly adjust your trajectory based on the scarce, often wrong, and mostly brutal feedback (very hard)
- Have unreal conviction, enough to keep going for years when dismissed and called crazy (extremely hard)
Been there for +3 years at @slice, long before onchain commerce was on anyone’s radar. I've learned so much that I could write a book on the topic.
On the other hand being “late” is more PVP. It's much less uncertain as you have a market, data for your assumptions, and are only limited by capital and execution efficiency. Apple has historically been the best at dominating markets while being late, though it's nuanced.

the real intersection of art and science
Uniswap is one of the few orgs in this space who understand brand.
As election day approaches, prediction market Kalshi.com also seems to be popular. What’s more appealing compared to Polymarket is its "Ideas" section. It offers a home feed showing comments from various events, creating an open space for sharing news and prediction analysis, giving it more of a social media feel.
I dk, but to me this looks obvious by now, but the results of this experiment based on incentives is sort of the confirmation of an universal model we can adapt and apply even at larger or even political levels
Conventional Silicon Valley wisdom biases towards being “early” to markets rather than being “late”, but this isn’t an absolute — it’s a trade-off just like everything else in life
If your product is addressing a market need that isn’t fully there yet (ie. you’re “early”), then the risk taken is around surviving long enough for the market to mature. You can allay this by being lean, achieving ramen profitability, or raising a fat war chest to ride it out
Conversely, if the market is already here (ie. you’re “late”), then you’ll face more competition from other products. You’ll have to battle for customers, and the risk becomes more about sales and speed of execution
Personally, I prefer the former. The stress of a competitive category is exhausting, and I’d rather build a product for a market that shows glimpses of maturity. That way, when the market arrives in full, you will have had time to build a great product experience and can just scoop up customers

Hot take: The best product teams have folks who not just ship new features but also own it's launch & adaption ( v critical in the beginning).
Came from our v hard learning where new features that were shipped weren't driving impact / were losing RoI after first few days, despite deep research prior to its build.
