I've been using Farcaster since @dwr onboarded me back in Fall 2021. I was very pleasantly surprised to see the bump in DAUs / interest once frames were launched.

There’s some new buttons and places to enter seed phrases which seems scary?

What makes farcaster different than other social media platforms

A whole lot of work to be able to capture the spike smoothly.

Love your work. Slow and steady wins the race. Sorry I'm not always here keeping up with it.
