Developers and network effects. I always thought farcaster would hit PMF once > 2 very different apps built on top of the network (twitter/reddit) reinforce each other. I thought paragraph conversations came close. Receipts interesting but fitness may be too small. Has to be social. I think options are - communities (discord) - niches (Reddit) - discovery (Pinterest) - search (real time Google) How about the Warpcast team maintains Warpcast but takes a big bet on client #2? Another completely line of thinking: why did Bluesky grow? Seems the answer is pick a massive and cultural stance (they picked political left). Can’t think of one that works tho, right is taken by X, left is bs, you have crypto but that’s too small.

Bsky chose the correct growth axis (political) and did not have the baggage of crypto (post-FTX).

So the question is : how to extend crypto and Ethereum in an easyer way for the public. Right now I think warpcast is highly complicated for a non crypto person. Maybe rodeo could give some directions : --> warpcast needs better UX design --> networks with the most traction include a vision of social design , new forms of interactions between people

(Sorry if it's too much but I like the subject 😅) Farcaster might be the real brand here : the name is cooler, the logo cooler, the inspiration was there. --> it definitely needs to be presented as an ecosystem on the website (right now I see only warpcast on the front page ) As others said there lies the social innovation engine and inspiration

Also why X connect only (and always visible) ? I came here because X killed twitter for example. Now each time I watch my warpcast profile I see X connect 😅

Another interesting choice I noticed on Rodeo is that the "following" count is not immediately visible on users profile. (Easy to implement). The result is much easier follows, more rapid growth. it suppresses small toxic behaviours such as "I shouldn't follow more than I'm followed". (This is part of social relationships design.)

On rodeo buttons are animated and more subtile, on Instagram theres an animated gradient when you scroll DMS, the warpcast icon gives a basic impression where it should convey style and innovation. But most of all it hasn't completely nailed the social design part. What is the vision for new social interactions ? (This is where promoting VIPs fails at the end. ) Deeper thinking on this could be bring interesting results.
