finishing up a few core features, but the main new difference is the change to bit more of a reddit-esque ui(to me it makes the content shine a bit more and will help out with some of the channels features i'm introducing)
know your north star and don’t lose sight of it ⭐️
what are the coolest launches or projects you've seen on /farcaster in the past few weeks? (could be top convos/casts too)
who’s going to /devcon, casters? 👀
so far all the benefits still outweigh the kinks/features to be built out, the fact that most changes just seamlessly work across platforms is pretty awesome

i have staging envts set up for web and ios so far, just doing some design polish to get to a mvp!

is there a viable alternative to `npm update` that will actually update the packages in my repo's `package.json`? i feel like half of the time that i run it most of my packages still aren't updated to the latest available version

tbh there are still a lot of utility frames/mini apps like this that can be made

some examples: uniswap swap, live events(sports, news, livestream, etc), registering for/gifting a Farcaster account, etc
might be neat if a cast action could launch a mini app!

fun idea i just came up with on the fly that you could do with this: a cast action could link you into a mini app that shows you more content/casts like the one you just read
here are the full notes from today's biweekly farcaster dev call, live on the neynar blog!

TLDR:
Channels iterations are underway, Direct Casts shipped auto-updating messages and are working on new APIs, the Hub team has been looking at a memleak bug, Location FIPs and Warpcast Twitter verifications are coming, and Warpcast is investigating smart wallet/multi-client support for SIWF

taking live notes from today's(back on regular schedule) biweekly farcaster dev call

here's an overview of the top priorities from warpcast, which they'll give updates on (ranked in order):
1. Growth(Channels and Frames updates)
2. Direct Casts
3. Reducing Sign Up Costs
4. Hubs
5. FIP: Locations
6. Sign In with Farcaster

GitHub quietly rolled out their own version of “priority mode” for notifications, they must’ve been watching the /warpcast product updates!
small ui suggestion — might be nice to see the channel streak next to location data so there’s less margin between the bio/user info and their feed

I like the new slim channel streak pill btw :)
embarrassing New York moment for me earlier today: I was walking in soho and saw this stage/entrance for what looked like some fashion event, and it was so crowded that I just walked to the next block

but by not turning right onto that block I completely missed that it was a pop up Kaytranada set!!! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

gm! does anyone have recs for good coffee shops or an open desk I can work from today? the power is out in my building for some testing until tonight & trying to see where I should go co-work, would appreciate any recs 🙌
we're fortunate to have received a @base builder grant for our onchain/usdc ticketing for farhack kampung -- huge thanks to base for all of their support & we're excited to keep building onchain!! 🙌
still a super basic setup/early into this but was able to get cross-platform auth, a home feed & several hono-backed api routes up in one night of tinkering
using one(onestack.dev) to build a mvp of my project & decided to make the repo open source too, here it is if you wanna follow along! https://github.com/dylsteck/cortex

my # of gh stars is the currently same number as my fid(616), is that a sign? lol
this has gotta be something that AI + a degree of personal connections/referrals in a consumer app can at least put some meaningful dent into
