a place for builders who ship

this week i shipped a plugin to token-gate the smart accounts

https://github.com/Destiner/lil-modules
This week the /ponder team shipped:
- new kind of poll now in closed beta
- major poll improvements (deploying tomorrow)
- smart contract finalized on op mainnet
- internal analytics dashboard to track frames
- privacy page
This week I
- specced the upcoming /warpcast DC APIs.
- fixed a few DC bugs
- identified some changes and cleanups to make in preparation for DC APIs
This week on /blockhead I am working on reviving historical token price charts.

A long time ago, before the infrastructure for interchangeable data providers was in place, I had a chart component that relied solely on an API endpoint from @covalent-hq. I was forced to remove it when they deprecated it.
Building /quilibrium
Geomagnetic storm put our 10/10 date for 2.0 on hold until 10/12 11am UTC (resi hw is especially at risk of erratic behavior during G4-G5 conditions, and risking exclusion of launch participation was not an acceptable condition). But now, we are clear skies, and 2.0 is launching in ~8 hours.
lots of small fixes and improvements this week:
- misc perf improvements
- active subscribers only on home page
- drops aspect ratio bug fix
- subscriber export bug fix
- removed grants text input jank
- revenue recipient display bug fix
- truncated drop email text
- added suggested img sizes to create form
- https://warpcast.com/nonlinear.eth/0x47aebf93
i am building /seemore and this week we are focusing up (more soon)

In the interim, this is what we shipped…
This week at /swaye we shipped:
- Market update animation
- Decreased market creation fees (~$0.5)
- Min purchase (0.0001 ETH)

Many more features coming next week!
I work on @percs and the movie game /funchables .

@percs we fixed a bunch of minor bugs.

For the movie game,
* Made an integration with Moxie, something special is coming.

Also, here is a sample on how we're distributing our product updates to our users on Warpcast.

my first official post in /the-arena :)

i'm building /animarising, a mobile-first 3D idle MMORPG featuring 35 skills, a multiyear dark fantasy storyline & a p2p USDC marketplace

after 6 months of development, our pre-alpha, and first true release, is set to go out this monday in our discord!

as such, this week was spent

>fine tuning mechanics
>debugging, and
>implementing quality of life updates for our players

this includes our Skills page gridview toggle & our "Book of Domain," which can be found within Discovery (design files attached below)

>the new Skills gridview is mostly a cosmetic change & although it's something any MMO player will immediately recognize, it doesn't do much for gameplay beyond that

>our Discovery page now includes "Tomes," which are essentially mini Wiki's for each skill, a "Questing Log," which offers some light guidance & objectives to our testers, and our "Book of Domain," which allows players to look up all items (so far) & where they’re found within the Domain
building something new with the /onceupon team

this week we shipped an app for minting contracts as onchain svg nfts.

try it out on base sepolia:
https://basesepolia.ilikecontracts.xyz

please send feedback my way - planning to clean it all up and launch on base as soon as next week!
week 7 in /the-arena 🚢

this week for /uno we shipped:

✨ add channels to your stories ✨

this feature is proving to be an interesting space to design within - as channel membership is available through an api (i.e. not in place at the protocol level) other clients can choose to implement channels as they wish

channels in Uno v0 function the following way today:
> search through all channels on the protocol
> see which channels you are a member of on warpcast
> add *any channel* to your story - public or private
> the channel id appears in the Uno UI regardless of whether or not that user is a member of said channel on warpcast

Uno is prioritizing the discovery of people, so our current approach to channels - further context for casts - allows us to focus on enhancing user discovery and our own un(o)ique approach to communities onchain

but as always, we're open to feedback :)

see you next week 🌈
