I stand corrected after last night's 2 run homer

I'm officially the annoying yankee complainooor
Just fixed a bug where some users' profile pics weren't rendering on our frames

May be a few minutes to take effect
Are pfps from Merkle's cloudinary proxy deprecated?

Noticed we have ~175 users that still have this pfp url and they don't seem to be loading properly

If this is phased out, it would be great if WC team could update these images on hubs to avoid loading errors on other apps/clients
Just shipped some design improvements to polls, the first of many updates we have cooking

We have a lot of big features rolling out soon, including a brand new take on polls in beta for the next week
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
Ponder frames are one of the top domains shared on farcaster :)
Quote cast but change what the skeleton is holding

Received reports that some creators were unable to reward Q&A bounties to respondents

This should now be resolved, I'll be reaching out to anyone who was affected

Please feel free to DC me if you're still having trouble giving out your OP on sponsored Q&A frames
Okay @scoutgamexyz is actually really well made for being so early in development

Everything feels seamless, from sign in flow to buying NFTs to exploring other builders

This is such a great way to celebrate devs on farcaster, really great work @ccarella.eth and team!

Yankees game was a tough watch

Judge on track for another abysmal postseason 🥴
Highly relevant for Farcaster

Building here means you're building on top of a composable social network that's tailored towards meeting and interacting with friends

There are so many more ways to socialize with friends other than casting if apps can take full advantage of the social graph
Had a Q&A bug where some users were seeing "Answer not found" after submitting their answer

This should now be fixed, h/t @etash
Crazy how the sentiment on channels went from a glorified hashtag that was confusing for people (myself included) to something that has the vast majority of users excited

Very bullish on the changes, interested in how this is going to change behavior on the network

This week the /ponder team shipped:
- brand new tab in composer action form 👀
- new smart contract deployed on sepolia testnet for upcoming beta
- share results frame for polls
- big performance improvements on poll frames
- customizable poll durations
- new and improved poll pages on the web app
Shipped a fix where certain symbols were breaking our frames due to the encoding algos we were using

h/t @zd for discovering this issue 🙏
Two updates on /ponder polls that were shipped last night

1. Each poll now has a dedicated share frame, making it much more reliable to share updated results on farcaster than og images

2. Voting in frames is now significantly more performant

More updates to polls rolling out shortly
The legos are just starting to connect here

Things are gonna get a whole lot cooler very soon!

Earlier tonight we faced a bounty farming problem due to a vulnerability from an internal test

We’ve recovered almost all of the OP and have dealt with the spammers accordingly, no normal Q&A bounties were impacted whatsoever
Who else is pumped to see Interstellar in theaters for its 10 year anniversary?
Back from dev day and I’m more bullish than I’ve ever been as a builder on farcaster

- it remains the best launchpad to attract early users to your product
- it’s becoming the best place to engage with your community
- every few weeks there are more lego blocks being built
- WC team is 100% focused on growth
New feature on WC: you'll now receive a DC from @survey whenever you earn a Q&A bounty reward
