discover new friends, communities, and tokens on farcaster

goodbye tamagui, hello nativewind and custom component system ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ
/uno
Guys there is no token for ๐Ÿ‘€ it is just a meme lol.

But I guess this is a good time as any to share that there will be a dark mode /uno hat dropping soon!

api.uno.fun for our endpoints is so clean ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
/uno
We are busy this weekend improving UI. Creating the thread tree (3ms ๐Ÿ˜) and thread view is a ton of work!

@heavygweit has been iterating over what a larger content surface area/threaded experience could be. We've looked at a ton of different social apps for inspo.

Seeking feedback ๐Ÿ™
@christopher and I just shipped passkey-enabled onboarding along with wallet creation for /uno

why did we spend the last few weeks on this?

we expect our users to love this login experience - the ability to easily access and manage your account(s) is the first big touch point new users have with any platform

these passkey-enabled accounts give them the protection they deserve along with the opportunity to seamlessly participate in the onchain ecosystem from day 1 on Uno

one more milestone crossed on our path to beta!

(check out the process diagram for the onboarding flow - it does feel a little like magic how much goes on in the background from just a few button clicks)
/uno
ugh all of our APIs arenโ€™t setup to serve a feed if the new user doesnโ€™t follow anyone..

how do we solve this ๐Ÿค”
/uno
assuming you *already have a Farcaster account*, would you rather import a wallet or Connect with Warpcast?

/uno
/uno now supports channels for stories!

- share a public story to a channel you're a member of on Warpcast
- long term vision is adding your content to generative communities
- if you're not a member of the channel, it'll get hidden on Warpcast, but still labeled on Uno.

still implementing simple onboarding, but hoping to be closed beta ready soon ๐Ÿ™
/uno
Just making a public request to get in on beta when it's ready pretty please and thanks @christopher @heavygweit ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
/uno
feature demos for /uno will slow for a bit: we need to build a dead simple onboarding experience.

"why not smart wallet/Privy/Dynamic?"

1. we need a dead simple sign up.
2. passkeys are a delightful user experience.
3. we are YAGNI true believers.
4. default to learning new things!
/uno
I was invited to join /uno

I hope I get invited to beta test it too ๐Ÿ˜
/uno
so we have to have a web presence at uno.fun for auth purposes โ€” does anyone have any fun ideas?

i have been thinking about:

- one click image/video upload (e.g. imgur)
- simple profile page
- read-only Farcaster content browser
/uno
Uno's success is heavily dependent on @christopher bringing back the stache and wearing overalls while merging PRs
/uno
we love you all very equally and so @heavygweit and i will crush a 2 week sprint to onboard more folks into /uno lol.

reasons why we can't onboard today:
1. we want to (IAP + EOA + register with Farcaster contracts) = passkey
2. prevent signup spam
3. literally nothing is cached so things can break cleanly!
/uno
fire /uno presentation from usv x variant demo night! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ”ฅ

@heavygweit @christopher would be cool to have moshi polaroids i share automatically show up under stories, image-only
/uno
short week due to Dev Day!

1. showing mutual likes (long term goal is to make this a fun cast metric/insights area!)

2. experimenting with net-new control bar UI/UX

3. group learning how to do gestures better..

we are so close to launching a closed beta!!
/uno
this week was a deep work ๐Ÿšข to solve UI/UX performance jank and burn down the TODO list.

really excited for the /uno design language โ€” we have been inspired by artists and creators here!
live in 1 hour/when this cast is 1 hour old!

we'll be talking about /uno and new features and notifications. streaming on YouTube!

@heavygweit and i are kicking around the idea of "story groups." a Story Group is a thread of casts of content like images or videos.

e.g. you have a public photo dump from Singapore, but then a private spill coming home. the public story is a thread of casts with image embeds.

what do y'all think?
/uno
live 12 PM ET/this cast is ~1 hour old!

join me and @heavygweit for a quick 30 minute stream to brainstorm a new Story primitive for /uno. we are also switching over to YouTube since Unlonely is pivoting to content (rip)

dark mode + animations = ๐Ÿ˜

s/o @mazmhussain, thanks for sharing your trip photos!
/uno
with /uno we are focused on discovery and finding the best content and curators at Internet-scale.

your feed should be full of vibrant opinions, images, videos, selfies, stories, and creators. we pick great tastemakers to help us generate it!
