Farcaster

A little late but summary from Permissionless NYC
- Stable coins <> Institutions is the talk of the town
- InfoFi on X is now getting tiring with airdrops failing 
- @uniswap team has some amazing merch & branding ideas
- @monad NYC office is pretty dope 
- Big chunk of on chain liquidity doesn't come from marketing but outbound partnerships / account based marketing
- FC is still a secret for lots of crypto bros (onboarded couple of Base maxis recently)

also NYC has some gorgeous spots

The largest onchain marketplace. Buy and sell crypto on Ethereum and 13+ other chains.

One of my life philosophies 
Pivot -> Check funnel -> Pivot again.

Pivot & Funnel are the only two true constants..

Music

Eminem rap still hits hard

I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
I ain't never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it means goin' toe-to-toe with a Benzino...

Aftershave - writing poems is one of the most effective ways for me to carry on and not burn out :)  lmk what you guys think of it..

Poetry

Explore the poignant reflection on love and loss in @apurvkaushal's latest blog post. The author artfully weaves emotions tied to a gift of aftershave, lingering memories of a final kiss, and sleepless nights filled with past conversations. It's a thought-provoking journey through the remnants of a relationship.

Some thoughts on mini app go to market (not comprehensive):

- get users to give feedback and test early before launch. They'll likely want to help support when it launches too (ping me if you want to join a group chat of 300 mini app testers)

- don't mass spam when reaching out to people in DCs, be thoughtful

- @ampsfun is a great tool for getting more distribution

- use notifications to help with retention and keep users updated about new rewards, challenges, etc

- @qrcoindotfun gave a small amount of tokens to anyone who added mini app -> one of the most popular right now in terms of opens. Also QR is great for getting distribution

- founders and community members can tip tokens through @noiceapp for distribution

- add social features where users keep coming back or compete e.g. MiniWord by @cbeav, FarGuesser by @vmathur 

- add a share on Farcaster button in mini app, bonus if it can be a personalized image for the user so they're more likely to share (a lot of builders forget to add this)

I manually DCed to ~100 folks to check out our upcoming launch of the on-chain mindshare product & share feedback. 

More than 70 of them have replied with the intent to help & support.

This is just based builder energy of the network here. Blessed to be early to this.

chatgpt

Using ChatGPT to self reflect on your strengths & weakness is such an under rated hack

Sharing prompt i use regularly in the second cast.

As vibe coders, you guys face the common issue of deployment? Everything working locally but getting it to work on a server is still difficult despite all the tools like Claude, cursor etc?
