Started watching "For All Mankind" the other day and it's already one of the best shows I've ever seen.
I can finally show my face at family gatherings again (I told them in April that $degen is the future)

I joined Farcaster on October 24, 2023 and have been a member since 11 months 8 days!

Can't believe I've been here for almost a year, it feels like such a short time even though so much happened.
gm, just did my first ever run

feeling good
gm, it‘s a great day to be great
great report with some super interesting metrics

really liked the comparison between power badge & non power badge holders -- provides a great overview of what new users think about farcaster
since my casts are boosted today, here is a quick intro for those who don’t know me:

i’m a 20-year-old developer from germany

the reason i’m on farcaster is because i believe social media has too much influence on society to be a black box controlled by central authorities solely focused on extracting profit from the network

my goal is to create something, most likely software incorporating blockchain technology, that will have a significant positive impact on the world

i cast mainly about stuff i’m building and any interesting thoughts that go through my head, mostly relating to consumer software and web3

always happy to connect with new farcasters! 💜
i want to launch my fan token, but not sure how to approach it

if you've already launched your fan token: did you create a plan/strategy for promoting it or is it best to just start the auction and continue casting as usual?
can we normalize building apps only in dark mode?

i'm tired of getting flashbanged every time i use a new app, and then having to switch to dark mode manually

if light mode has no haters, i'm dead
to ship quickly, you need to be hyperaware of what users truly need and avoid getting sidetracked by less important features that interest you personally

always remember that you're building the product for your users, not yourself
played football for the first time in months yesterday

can barely move now
gm anon, what are you working on this week?
We really should enjoy this time where it’s just us here.
gm, rainy Saturday vibes today
do people actually sell fan tokens?

my "strategy" is buy, hold, and check back in >6 months
is there an llm that can catch me up on farcaster trends for when i take another 24h break
looks like i'm once again changing my llm subscription
