I love the fact that we now have at least two great clients for an open social protocol.

This is something we’ve wanted in tech for 20 years and at Coinbase for ~10 years. Big props to @jesse.base.eth and @dwr.eth for making Base and Farcaster happen.

But I can’t yet quickly parse what parts of the UX are shared at the Farcaster protocol level, vs which pieces are unique to the Base app or the Farcaster app.

We’ll need new UX conventions for that.

We’re finally seeing the dream of open social become real.
Totally agree on UX clarity  as more clients emerge, consistent protocol-level patterns will be key. Exciting design space ahead!
