4 Embed Bug Report ... and a feature issue I haven't seen a thread so here you go @dwr.eth @v 1. Currently more than 2 quote casts in a cast doesn't work on mobile or web ... you can't even cast it 'there was a problem creating your cast' 2. Previous to this pro feature, I would do a weekly round up with 5-6 cast links in the main cast.... it seems that will no longer be allowed, even when #1 is fixed. Is there anyway we can still put more than 4 quote casts in a main cast for a round up? 3. Could multiple quote casts go in the slider with other formats (img, video etc) instead of stacking outside the slider? Maybe if 1 quote cast, it's normal. If > 1 it goes in the slider

Feels like there's a lesson in there for...here. What tools, mini apps, & work are we taking for granted that we would be willing to pay for? Speaking to myself, too. And I think it's more than tipping. Question: What exists on Farcaster that, if taken away, you'd pay for it to get it back?

It's time to announce the winner of round 2 of the /outlast games... *** The winner of round 2 is @lianta ... she only joined in April, and among other things, this statement was a clincher: 'Farcaster isn’t just an app to me anymore. It’s a small but powerful corner of the internet where I’ve found my voice, met amazing people, and felt truly seen.' *** It was engaging to read about the FC experience of about 10 people new to Farcaster & working to understand and engage. @glowry was a finalist & thank you for your story! I read all the entries closely & appreciate hearing your stories and hope your FC journey is only up from here 💜 Thanks to @dummie.eth & @tophb for creating this game to help newcomers & asking me to host this round. https://farcaster.xyz/lianta/0x5ed81669

** Rewards Leaderboard Results ** * @henri took the privy + stripe announcement to the top & then got pulled into a horserace with 'Xile' @shawmakesmagic & held him off at the end-they finish 1-2 * @cherdougie takes #3 for that $600 & first time in top 10 & if I haven't said it yet, is truly one of the 'vibe tribe' & queen for this week * @debbie another first in the top 10! ; & @keccers.eth #6 has figured out the formula to not finishing 11!; & @bertwurst.eth despite abandonment slips in at #10 * welcome @mart first week on FC at #14!; & nice to see @patriciaxlee.eth in the top 30 (1st time?) at #27 * Meme-coveted #69 goes to @miawintam as she bumps @nounishprof to #70 🤷‍♂️ * Remember, 3000 get Rewards now so probably see more First Timers to celebrate with 🎈

Here's where the @ponder game gets ya... I voted flying b/c comments said invisibility is cringe & for miscreants. But I would want invisibility not for cringe & miscreanting, but for things like being on the field at a sporting event or at a historical event. AND I LOST! LOOK AT THAT POOL! ( @cojo.eth & @ba you owe me $5 😡)

Sports is about the stories. JJ Spaun, a relative nobody in golf, almost quit last year...watched the less-than-stellar movie Wimbledon on a plane & didn't quit. A girl dad whose day started at 3AM w/ his daughter vomiting all night & a trip to CVS...ends w/ this putt, a US Open win, $4.3 million & a changed life.

Saw @coinbread on my TL all week and had no idea what it is.... until they won @qrcoindotfun today & I did my daily ritual of checking out the winner great website coinbread.cash & great explanation ... one of the best uses of capturing attention through a win or airdrop ... many could learn from them so good I almost forgot to go back and claim my $QR ! one thing I don't know: who is behind @coinbread ?

** Reminded Of The Grind ** (my /firstdraft ) I love seeing this cast of @ponder reaching the top mini app usage this week But something else stood out in @ba 's cast: 'it's been a long grind' Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but I was a little To me, @ponder feels like people loved it from day 1, has a great community, & is steadily growing. Smooth sailing, right? I forgot what it takes to get there & ben's cast reminded me. I had a conversation at FarCon w/ @cojo.eth & some of the @ponder team about their strategy & saw first hand how serious & committed they are to building Ponder I'm glad to get this reminder today. It came from Ponder, but I'm sure it's true of many of the builders here--we probably take a bit for granted It feels like this may also be true for @phil as it seems like @ampsfun has been smooth climb. It looks like @jake & @qrcoindotfun is up and to the right. @tldr w/ bracky; @colin w/ @paragraph & many others Today, I'm reminded of the grind & passing that reminder along to you.
