I got my @daylightcomputer a couple of days ago and posted some quick unboxing pics.

I bought it 2 years ago when the company even had a different name.
I’m looking forward to exploring it more.

Been thinking about this across multiple ecosystems beyond mobile.
Apps is itself a broad category - think also WordPress plugins, Browser extensions, Frames
And: app stores, distribution, discovery, curation, payment

One of the biggest censorship vectors for blockchain protocols is RPC / lack of light clients.
This is solved by more P2P-ish data transfer (eg IPFS, Farcaster Hubs, ATProtocol PDS), but this is also a UX barrier: running servers on phones, at home, etc is hard and potentially pricey.

In protocol terms, you don’t opt out of SMTP storing and forwarding email.
An email client or hosting service would have its own ToS, some of which depends on what its jurisdiction is.

“You can’t just point at things and call them all protocols”
Operating systems = protocol layer.
For Apple and Google, accounts, storage, and payment are included.
Windows ??? Legacy install base.
Apple bundles user data + synch.
Cross-platform? Good luck!
There ARE new opportunities for “OS” layers opening up. Not sure who has the patient capital to go for it.

Game publishers have moved to building in house gaming engines. That’s the protocol layer.
They use a studio to development IP into a game. That’s a full stack app, including a client.
DLC and modding tools can extend that app. Frames, alt clients.
Publishers also provide accounts & payment.

The word client is also a red herring.
What app are you building that sits on top of the account system and social graph of Farcaster?

Concrete example: @owl @depatchedmode and I decide to do a job listings type.
We can include a body (so that it shows up in all clients) but we want to store jobs on FC.
So we make our own little JSON payload and stick it in MESSAGE_TYPE_EXTRA
Others are welcome to adopt same … or not! @horsefacts.eth

Fun story: I completely forgot I bought the founders edition when the company had a different name 2 years ago.
The company is a public benefit corp, runs on non Google Play store Android.

Above 300-500 you start needing long lead times to get venue and hotel availability.
Bursaries, paying speakers, sponsor representation, “no shilling” and other norms need to be set.

What would be actually useful in "frames for publishers" would be:
* tip
* subscribe
* rate
Anyone working on this? I'm interested in seeing this work with content hosted anywhere -- there are specific platform integrations that would likely be good growth channels.
