started journaling last night using wispr flow and it is the best way to journal and unwind for the day
had my biggest Moxie collection so far and wow it does feel cool to just write out thoughts and interact with people and earn rewards

now just have to learn the ecosystem more to figure out what to do with all this Moxie
ok this felt hard today /receipts
discovered the youtube channel every frame a painting yesterday and wow so good
super weird bug but looks like maybe around 100-150 bots followed me today?

clicking in none of them have any casts and all seem like bots

@dwr.eth @v - has this been an issue today? i know bots are around but this seems wild
i’d love a little app to save frames from youtube videos

similar to finding good shots in movies i think youtube production is getting so good that there are lots of things to learn from others on good lighting and framing
niceee it pays to get boosted lol
i’ve been building a tool for myself to better follow academic journals i want to read

spoke to a friend recently about the market for mini apps. little apps that do a specific thing well and are maybe $2-3 a month

like you could build it yourself but someone has put some thought into it and made something

feel like this could be more of a thing now as more people use AI tools to code
alright getting boosted was a lot of fun

some stats:
- gained ~150 followers (which is pretty wild cause I basically doubled)
- joined 4-5 new channels which I'm excited about
- some fun DMs talking to people
- made me want to be more invested in farcaster

I think the idea of being boosted is so interesting because it's time bound marketing for your profile and ofc will increase use of the app but also hopefully help people find others that they resonate with and find interesting
got boosted on warpcast and then got flu shot and covid booster and now body is just all shivers and pains
so many interesting takes here - would be interesting to match the takes to myers’s brigg
ok this boost effect is real and i’m having a lot of fun
yess part of NYC! i didn’t get a chance to see the northern lights / solar flares yesterday so if you did share some of your favorite pics so i can live vicariously
/NYC
this is cool
MKBHD put out a vid on his very hated wallpaper app and truly think this was such a good job of explaining and diffusing a situation where the whole internet blew up in his face

very well done

I mentioned this in another cast but this article on why wearables aren't the best when it comes to metrics for weight loss was so eye opening for me

you really just need calories in and weight over time. i do think that having a wearable to track your fitness activities is nice so i wear a coros but the "calories" from it don't really mean much

shill me your favorite farcaster apps

looking for some inspiration
weekend reading 👀
how are people keeping up with academic journals these days? newsletters? RSS? what do you follow?

i know that nextjs is definitely pumped by the dev community and also by vercel but i truly do enjoy using it as a self taught dev and the quality of tutorial vids on youtube just keeps getting better and better

add in cursor and its so fun to build little tools for myself (and maybe soon for others?!)
the farcaster twitter integration is nice but it would be cool to have it open in the twitter app instead of in app browser

or maybe have a choice of either?
i sometimes do miss the NFT days

it was lots of degen vibes but it was fun lol
lol well that was fast
