Discover new friends, communities, and tokens on open protocols.

Uno user search will be dumb for a bit this morning while we reindex user profiles and RAG.

When the service goes down, we fall back to ILIKE pattern matching.

Goal next week is to introduce more relevant ranking (liveliness, hierarchical graph-based results)

Is uno playable now ๏ผŸ

How it feels to onboard users one at a time without a token, product managers, or a marketing team.
/uno
We onboarded 83 people by hand last night at the Uno beta launch party. We learned a ton! Feedback has been: fast, smooth, better.

Native creator tools. Onchain connections. Social software.

But have a ton of work to do before we can release it wider. Thank you to all everyone who showed up and signed in :)

We are busy this weekend improving UI. Creating the thread tree (3ms ๐Ÿ˜) and thread view is a ton of work!

@erica 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)

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?

https://frame.weponder.io/api/polls/24021
/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™

Just making a public request to get in on beta when it's ready pretty please and thanks @christopher @erica 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 @erica 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!

fire /uno presentation from usv x variant demo night! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ”ฅ

@erica @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!!

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!

@erica 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?

live 12 PM ET/this cast is ~1 hour old!

join me and @erica 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)

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!

/uno

/uno
join us in 1 hour/when this cast is 1 hour old!

another late night ๐Ÿšข โ€” pretty much entirely quality of life updates, requested by our first users!

1. camera is super fast to use
2. share with mutual followers on /uno or cast out to Farcaster!
3. delete stories (and remove from Farcaster)
4. smooth full screen scroll! took way too long to solve ๐Ÿคช
/uno
alpha testing right now is just me and @eulerlagrange.eth passing around the ๐Ÿ‘‘ emoji lol.
/uno
late night ๐Ÿšข โ€” subtle glowing rings around story pfps. takes about 10s for a full cycle.

can you guess the inspiration?
/uno
my favorite part about /uno today was sharing our simple focus and origin story.

we are just an app!

no one expects a baby to reveal cosmic secrets of the universe โ€” we still have to learn to speak lol.

join us on Thursday as we keep building!
