wanted to give my (abridged) 2c on the convos around the state of the protocol and the developer/client ecosystem: /fc-devs have never been in a better position: - full fledged ecosystem providers like /neynar exist & support/make devex easier for a wide range of devs (as well as tons of open source infra) - merkle/warpcast is putting in work across the stack(all the way to new snapchain work) to improve QoL for devs & users, with some important pieces coming that will give other clients even more interop with warpcast - the legos with building blocks like app frames are getting so much better and the social graph is getting richer - we're on the verge of a massive year/bull run for crypto does that mean there aren't still particular developer gripes or that the protocol is at "pmf"? no, i acknowledge all of that -- but i don't think there are problems as existential/locked into one client or vendor as some folks make them seem

separately wanted to address this comment below -- i think the desire for more OSS and specifically more examples of modules other devs can use that aren't as publicly available makes total sense but when devs need new modules i think that's actually a great opportunity for the community because either ecosystem providers can step in or if something is needed so much then folks can even crowdfund a bounty all this to say: if things are needed i think the community is going to listen and developers will be in the same boat, both merkle and the ecosystem try to do quite a bit to act in good faith and help developers https://warpcast.com/dalechyn.eth/0x65347e23

+ That’s probably how it would’ve go if there would be at least 100 active app client devs, but at this stage it feels like the problem is not big enough to be solved by merkle (given merkle’s current team size and scope of work I understand that it’s hard), nor isn’t big enough to be formalized in a single solution. Unless some nerd/team steps in and solves those micro-problems, we could see an actual boom of app clients, because the entry bar to make something close to retainable is quite high and many would simply not consider trying because of the complexity.
