for me, farcaster is the only social ~space that developers can build ~on. That energy is contagious
I wonder if wc ultimately becomes something that looks more like a social media-browser hybrid; give users a smart wallet which works seamlessly across frames etc..
that's probably where I'd take it anyway, not having thought about it nearly as much as i'm sure dan & co have

This isn’t a link. It's not something you click through.
It’s a window. Something you look through.
It doesn’t take you somewhere else. It opens and lets the world in.
It brings things closer to you. Not out there, but right here. Where your friends already are. The people you care about. The things they make, and say, and share.
It’s not called a "mini app." It’s called a "Frame."
We frame things we love. To see them clearly. To set them apart. To remember them.
We frame things that are beautiful. And somehow it always makes them look a little better.
Because the frame is how we say: "this is something worth seeing."

the MessagePort interface turned out to be an elegant way to avoid race conditions around loading + initialization since it has a queue built in
both sides can start send / receive messages when they are ready

what are the best async social mini apps out there today? e.g. chess or "words with friends"
what're your personal odds on whether AI will be monetized via ads or subs/usage in the future?
I think for consumer apps it's almost impossible to get away from the superiority of the ad experience, unfortunately. Netflix is trending there too, fwiw

founding or working on an early stage startup has always been -EV. If you're in it for the money, you're simply making a bad decision. It's closer to being an actor or musician than anything else

In general means being a founder or working for a startup will become this watered down term for a money losing profession.
In the 10s, a startup was a specific kind of business that used cloud computing and has zero marginal cost for the next unit of production.
Today, people are calling themselves founders of startups but the marginal cost of a unit once you including labor is higher than revenue. Many aren't paying themselves, so its just nepotism investment, founders living off family cash, for an app or a thing that has no chance of becoming viable. How's that not capital destructive?

Yes, the term "anticipatory nostalgia" describes the feeling of being nostalgic for the present moment, knowing you'll miss it in the future. It's the awareness of the fleeting nature of current experiences, creating a bittersweet appreciation as they happen.

teams over DAOs in the creation process. If the protocol requires governance, that shouldn't remain centralized though.

It’s pretty clear that startups should build Agents on FC to prove that they are worth funding to expand their Agents outside of FC. (Or, in the longer future, maybe startups just stay here forever :)

FCs tipping mechanism is the actual path forward re content monetization.
My preference would be a subscription where 50% of the monthly fee is split between my likes, RTs and Bookmarks (the other 50% goes to Merkle.
Mint the posts as collectibles and call it solved.

the word "fair" is loaded, and it's helpful to look to gaming to understand what fair generally means: people hate competing against machines (you see it in employment as well)
every [~successful? there aren't many afaik] onchain game thus far has either catered to bots, or inevitably succumbed to them
if you want _people_ to speculate around onchain launches, you need to find ways to exclude the bots. Typically it's a red-queen race though.. some jobs just aren't great for humans (relatively speaking), and people keep learning this the hard way

Never ever purchase an actual "fair launch", unless you yourself are a sniper. That meta is long since dead - it always ends with automated extraction on a massive scale.

- want to buy to support creator / own memento
- go to buy 'one' but i want to give blank more than pennies, buy some goofy large round number instead
- it blows up, wow its worth a bunch
- dont sell any bc i wanted to support and remember, not flip
- price tanks, wow that sucks i shouldve sold
- see it as a loss instead of what i bought it for
worth remembering that adding price adds all the negatives of bad price

speculation is fine (even good!), but _it must bridge a gap between fundamental sources and sinks_. Without a fundamental long-term sink, speculation chaotically bleeds to zero, every time.
If tokenized content is to work, someone has to do the hard work of designing a system with a real, large fundamental sink.

what's the most compelling "_definite_ optimist" take on content tokenization
i vaguely suspect that the tokenistas are right on a long timeline (just look at the trend to date), but i still personally haven't heard anyone make a great case for it. Arguments for it kind of remind me in ~2016 when everyone would talk about decentralized-uber as a killer ethereum use case because "uber takes so much value from the drivers/riders"
