Paragraph is one of the top domains shared on Farcaster
Join the /food channel: https://modbot.sh/channels/food/join

We'll be experimenting with lenient access first, but if the quality goes down we can iterate.

We've begun to rollout a new writer dashboard & discovery experience.

- a new homepage: discover the best writing across Paragraph & your social graph
- improved metrics: view key newsletter & onchain metrics across your publication
- deep integrations with Farcaster: explore writing created by your followers, and see who's discussing your posts on FC
- AI: use AI to generate cover images & more

We're working on redesigning every other surface area to make it more modern & streamlined.

We submitted some improvements to the Paragraph subscribe flow. Now, you can subscribe to a newsletter without being required to login first or create an account.

h/t @alanadlevin @yb @saadiq @humpty.eth @bethanymarz and all the others that gave us feedback here.
Bootstrapping based on interest graph is very cool
Since we launched the Paragraph miniapp last week, there's been thousands of users that read a Paragraph post without leaving the feed.

We're now beginning to track & show these pageviews (including reading time) in your Paragraph post metrics.

We'll soon be slicing metrics by source, so you'll be able to see exactly how your readers are engaging with your content, no matter where they are.

In case you missed it, read the announcement:

Sad I couldn’t make it to the dev day but thankful I can follow along with @dylsteck.eth’s live casting!

We love the purple button
The new Paragraph miniapp makes it easier than ever to share your writing & grow your audience.

When you share a Paragraph post on Farcaster, it becomes an instant-loading article that anyone can read without leaving the app.

This is just the start — we’re working on even more ways for writers to grow & monetize on Farcaster.

Start writing on Paragraph today.
Use AI to generate titles, subtitles, and even cover images in the newly redesigned Paragraph editor

Would you use a “subscribe to newsletter to join channel” frame?
I've always thought this was a cool idea.

Would love to add this to Paragraph at some point -- the ability to create & embed markets directly into posts.

You get built-in distribution via your newsletter, and you could take a rake of all liquidity in the market.
Minor styling feedback on the "new drop" emails - the image is massive! I need to scroll down several times to see the full image. I'd prefer if the width was constrained

Re: the latest newsletter:

"And for the /paragraph channel, will it just be the core Paragraph team? Or will they add their most active creators? Or any creator who even has a paragraph? What if someone wants to give one-off feedback on the product?"

I don't know 😅 I like using it for customer support + feedback so I'd probably err on the side of adding in more people vs fewer.
Cool idea by @shazow.eth: mint to nominate
We're working on a Paragraph redesign.

Modern design, simplified UX, AI features sprinkled throughout, and a heavy focus on social & discovery.
