Duxander.base.eth |🎩 (duckfacts.eth)

I did more than I planned. Quack. About half a year of development, 108 days since the release, and here I am. In the beginning, the idea was just an idea, and it belongs to @cryptowenmoon.eth A bit of chatting with @sohey marked my first steps, tips and docs from @linda (ooo until 5 Jan). Huge support from @hunttown.eth, help from @tamastorok.eth with the canvas (the master of drawings) and @attilagaliba.eth (we miss you, bro) and @kc-8 (blockchain things), advices @arrotu. The opportunities that @inflynce (thanks Ali!) offers for attracting attention. First 100 users. Then came the grind: 8-15 hours daily, sleepless nights, improving everything possible, creating a high-quality product--drawings, an image generator, JPGs, holiday events, game integrations like Horse Facts Analyzer, Anime Characters Analyzer, and our masterpiece with @lifeisatape.eth Pinball: All Stars. ( try it if you haven't tried it ) This is a huge journey-I learned so much new stuff and managed to actually implement so many things. I remember every millimeter of my path, and it's very based. I'm still just a little duck, simply building something in my pond, and like everyone else. If a simple duckling was able to build something through tears, suffering, but also joy, more joy, I think everyone can realize their dream and build something! These are the results of the year for my app, but I also did a lot of cool stuff myself, but that will be another story. Keep building. Stay based. Learn from builders. Never give up. Don't be afraid to start. Don't be afraid not to finish. After a dark night, #0000FF day will surely come! OOO 30 secs

Right now, I’m working on several things and the next version of Celebration Hub, which is coming soon. Full Farcaster protocol support - send gifts(all 5 types) to any user, even if they haven’t added their birthday. It makes things much more fun. (Implemented) Your birthday/special date = a free NFT permanently stored onchain, with the ability to update it later if you decide you were born on another day of the year, etc. (About 90% implemented) Pinball rewards - paid games with leaderboards and prize pools. (Implemented) I’m currently exploring a few financial ideas for the app. The cost of sending gifts will increase from 0.01$ to 0.05-0.1$, and I’ll create a Birthday Pool with eth/usdc - a shared pool for 5–10 users who have their birthdays this week. The gifts you send will generate about 80–90% of that pool, and anyone will be able to add more funds to it as well. I will most likely use @quotient to track the quality of bday users for this gifts, but the threshold will be low. When the Farcaster developer rewards will be returned, I'll be able to use them for the pool + app maintenance. I'm also exploring options for launching a token, airdrop mechanics, and using commissions for the Birthday pool. I take this process very seriously and I am not in a hurry with it. Next, I plan to turn this loved project into a more universal thing with a full web app experience: connect your wallet to the website — get a gift; send a gift - simple and fun. And a bot for a gift sending. I think it’s a good idea. Do you have any feedback? Please share your ideas. I've been reading everything since day one.

What’s new in the latest month of development? - I integrated AI generators - now you can create simple AI images, as well as images based on the pfp of the user you’re sending a gift to. Play with it and experiment! - Added a color palette - more colors, more fun. - Added an improved leaderboard and a new ⭐ formula - this is your rating, updated weekly. The top 10 will be rewarded. Everyone who was in the previous top 10 will also be rewarded!(📸) - Achievements, XP system, Streaks, and Lottery - all influence your rating. - A bit more about Streaks: when you press it, you get $degen as a reward, with no extra conditions. Just as thank you for being a b-day app DAU! I’ve been testing everything for over a week. If you find any bugs - feel free to share. --------------------------------------- Special thanks to everyone who helped and emotionally supported me during the last month of development - hunt community @mintclub @if @to, @arrotu, and everyone who provided feedback or shared ideas for new features. I really appreciate you all 🥲 💙 ---------------------------------------- No ticker and none planned. ---------------------------------------- Coming up: a few more partnerships, bug fixes, and some cool ideas. Stay tuned https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/CpiCOnz2pNDx/birthday-app
