⚡ Big update on @dashapp: Channel Feeds Scroll through videos in any Farcaster channel and easily switch between your favorite feeds — you can also use the Search tab to find and browse channel videos in a profile view. To kick off the new feature, Dash has partnered up with /videolab to host a campaign for rewarding video creators in /science! Over $600 will be up for grabs to some of our favorite science-related videos created in the next 7 days! @noicebot send 0.25 USDC to anyone (spam label = 2) who recasts this in the next 24 hours. Budget unlimited. More details about the campaign in the quoted cast below 👇 dash.bnbs.dev/c/science

totally agree that trying to compete with tiktok makes no sense farcaster is special because it's not built for passive consumption — most people come here to build, learn and form genuine connections instead of chasing clout that's why I believe video has real potential here — if done right, it can actually deepen the connection layer that already sets farcaster apart from other networks there's an opportunity to create a new kind of video experience, one focused on authenticity over dopamine loops

⚡ You can now search for users directly in Dash to view their videos! The search page also displays trending users from the last 7 days — planning on making the algorithm for selecting these users more sophisticated with the goal of driving more attention to underrated video creators. dash.bnbs.dev

I miss @launch it would be so cool if more builders started registering their projects on launchcaster again (I'm guilty of not doing it either) an agent that automatically detects new product launches from casts would be huge for this

You can now use the @dashapp share extension to open any video you see on Farcaster directly in the mini app! Just make sure you have the mini app added and you'll be able to use it on any cast with a video. dash.bnbs.dev
