The solution to the DM problem is here. Announcing Reply, a Farcaster mini-app that rebuilds messaging around verifiable value. The premise is simple: Your attention is a finite resource. Serious outreach should acknowledge that. The system is an onchain escrow that enforces this principle. @clanker please create $Reply token https://reply-app.vercel.app/

Quick technical note for Reply users. I'm currently fixing an allowance bug related to big number conversions. In some cases, the approved amount was slightly less than the reply price, causing sends to fail. To fix this, sending messages is paused for a short time. I'll have it back up and running as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

I've been asked a few times about adding a leaderboard for top earners on Reply. My answer is no, and I want to be transparent about why. Reply's primary goal isn't to be an earning game, it's to be a signaling tool. It's about saving time, valuing attention, and making new connections possible. A leaderboard would incentivize the wrong behavior: farming and spam, not genuine communication. I will always prioritize the long-term health of the network over gamified metrics. p.s. many updates are comming today

gm. A quick follow-up on the bug list from yesterday. To be transparent, fixing these issues properly is taking more time than I initially anticipated. But I'm still deep in the code and making steady progress. My only priority right now is shipping solid, reliable fixes for the core experience. I'm focused on doing this right, not just fast. Appreciate all the patience. The work continues.

This says it all. He proved the core promise of Reply: it's not about who you are, it's about showing you value someone else's time. He wasn't pitching a deal. He was just curious. And he got replies from the very top. The ultimate case study. Thank you for this.

gm. Woke up with some incredibly helpful feedback and bug reports from all of you. First, a huge thank you. This is exactly what building in public is all about, and you all are the best QA team in the world. I want to be transparent about the known issues I'm actively working on today, based on your reports: 1. The "Black Screen" / Dark Mode Bug: If parts of the app are showing up black or text is invisible, you've found our top UI bug. It's a theme-related issue. The temporary fix is to switch your device to light mode, but a permanent fix with a theme selector. 2. The "Transaction Fails" Error: Some of you are seeing transactions fail without a clear reason. This is a bug on my end related to how the app calculates the token allowance for the smart contract, especially with large numbers. I've identified the issue and am working on a patch now. 3. The "Unauthorized" Error: If you're seeing this, it's a misplaced debug message from me. My apologies! A fix is in progress that will replace this with a proper "Please reconnect" prompt to refresh your session. 4. Telegram Notification Issues: We've found that messages with certain special characters can cause the Telegram notification to fail. I'm working on a fix to correctly format these messages. A Note on Older Messages: As mentioned yesterday, new messages are working smoothly. I'm continuing to manually process the payouts and refunds for the small batch of messages from the previous contract. Thank you for your patience here. This launch has been the ultimate stress test, and I love it. Your support and patience mean everything as I work to get Reply running perfectly smoothly for everyone. The work continues.

And we're live. The update is deployed, and everything should be stable now. It's been a long night of coding, and honestly, I'm pretty sleepy. I've double-checked everything, but my eyes might not be as fresh as yours. This is where I could use your help. If you have a moment, please give the app a try and see if anything feels off. If you spot any bugs, please shoot me a DM. You all are the best QA team a builder could ask for. Now, for real this time. gn.

Just a quick heads-up: I'm deploying a new update to Reply right now. You might experience some temporary slowness or see a few errors over the next 30 minutes or so while the changes propagate. Apologies in advance for any brief disruption. I'll post another update once everything is stable.

A quick but important update on the Reply platform. Over the past few days, a major infrastructure and backend overhaul has been completed. This wasn't just about fixing bugs, it was about rebuilding core parts of the system for long-term reliability and scale. What Was Fixed & Rebuilt: - Automated Refunds are FIXED: A critical bug blocking automated refunds for expired messages has been resolved. The system is now working as intended. - Seamless Contract Migrations: The app now has a robust process for migrating to new, upgraded smart contracts. This allows for future feature additions to be deployed smoothly, without interrupting service. This is a huge step for future-proofing the platform. - Team Updates: The internal tools for managing Farcaster Teams are now much cleaner. -> I've already updated the Neynar, QR, Noice, and Amps teams, and added new ones like Clanker. -> Help me build this out: If you see a mistake in a team roster or want your own project's team added to the Discover list, please shoot me a DM. Making Things Right & Saying Thank You This recent migration means a small number of older messages (on the previous contract) need to be settled manually. - For those affected: Payouts and refunds for this small group will be processed manually over the next few days (until Sunday). - A Thank You Airdrop: As a thank you for your patience, both the sender and recipient of these manually processed messages will receive a bonus $REPLY airdrop. Thank you for being part of this journey. The commitment is to build a platform you can trust.

This is what a composable social ecosystem looks like. I'm totally speechless. Really so emotional day! The @dau app is now rewarding users for sending paid DMs on Reply. This is a perfect example of two apps creating a positive-sum loop for the whole network. So incredibly cool to see. Thank you, @flynn.eth! P.S. I'm finishing up a big polishing update for Reply right now, so if the app feels a bit slow in the next hour, that's why. A new version is coming very soon.

I'm still processing the recast from @dwr.eth, and then this comes in from @horsefacts.eth. Just incredible. He boiled down the entire vision for Reply into its purest form. But what's truly powerful here is that he didn't just endorse the idea, but he made it immediately actionable by linking directly to the mini-app in his cast. He turned a summary into a direct path for new users. To get this kind of practical, high-signal support from one of the most respected OGs in the community, just wow, no words. This is community validation in its purest form. Thank you for this massive signal boost.

This one hits different. I'm honestly speechless. The original launch announcement for Reply was just recasted by @dwr.eth. I started building this app to solve a problem I imagined people like Dan face every single day: an overwhelming amount of noise drowning out valuable signal. To have the person who embodies that challenge signal that the mission is a worthy one, it is the ultimate validation a builder could ever hope for. I'm more motivated than ever to make Reply a core piece of this ecosystem. Thank you, Dan. Back to building.

I'm genuinely floored. Seeing this quote from @rish is an incredible honor. I deeply appreciate the comparison to Earn.com. The idea was brilliant, but perhaps, as others have said, it was just too early. My whole bet with Reply is that the Farcaster ecosystem has finally matured enough for this vision to be realized. The tech is seamless, and the onchain culture is ready. This is all the validation a solo builder could ever ask for. Thank you for seeing the vision and for sharing it.

gm. Some mornings you wake up and see the vision becoming a reality. @phil is now on Reply, with his price set. This is exactly what Reply was built for: to give the busiest and most valuable builders on Farcaster a tool to manage their attention and engage with high-signal inquiries. He joins a growing group of creators like @cojo.eth, @toadyhawk.eth, and @ace who are helping to build a better system for communication. This is a huge milestone. The work continues.

I'm honestly blown away again. I just checked the stats. Reply is now the #6 trending mini app on Farcaster. On top of that, we're trending on clanker.world again. And here's what's truly crazy to me: You've put us here even while I'm still actively fixing UI bugs and polishing the core experience. This shows me you don't just see the app as it is today, you believe in the mission of what it can be. That's the most motivating thing a builder can ask for. Thank you. Seriously.

A mid-week progress report. I've shipped several bug fixes today, but the work continues. Here's what's left on the roadmap for this week and how I'm prioritizing it. Development Priority: Core Stability My absolute focus is on ensuring the app is rock-solid for every user. Before I can properly follow up with partners, the core experience has to be flawless. This includes: - Fixing the last of the Telegram connection issues for notifications. - Resolving UI bugs for users on dark mobile themes. Next Up: Partner Onboarding & Growth Once those critical updates are live, my attention will turn fully to the collaborations. To @betrmint, @brnd, and @productclank, you are the next priority. I appreciate your patience. This involves creating the official Reply account and providing the info you need. Finally: Quality-of-Life Features After the core is stable and partners are supported, I'll move on to the next set of features: - Adding USD value hints for reply prices. - Adding more requested tokens. - Exploring an in-app swap for $REPLY. The plan is clear. Back to the code. https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/ZuqxLQnWC2Nh/reply

I've just had a realization: forcing users to 'add the app' just to look around is unnecessary thing. Some people just want to explore first to see if it's even for them, and I was getting in their way. So, I've removed that. Effective immediately, you can browse and explore the entire Reply app without adding it first. Check out who has set a price, see the discovery feed, and get a feel for the app, no commitment required. Of course, to actually send a paid message and use the core functionality, you'll still need to connect your wallet. That part is essential for the on chain magic to work. This is a step towards making Reply as open and accessible as possible from the very first click. Showing is always better than telling.

I said my only priority today was fixing the new user onboarding flow. The fix is now live. I've resolved the issues that were preventing some new users from adding the mini-app and connecting their Telegram for notifications. The core onboarding experience should now be smooth and reliable for everyone. While I was deep in the code, I also shipped a wave of other major improvements. What's New & Improved: - Infinite Scroll on Homepage: The Discover feed now uses a seamless infinite scroll instead of pagination. - Major UI Polish: I've pushed a ton of visual fixes to user cards, profile pages, and price displays, including new badges for clarity. - Better Telegram Flow: After connecting, the bot will now send you a success message within seconds and include a direct link back to the Reply app. A Few Pro-Tips & Workarounds: -> Can't Add App? Some users have seen an error when trying to add Reply from the main screen. If this happens, use the native Farcaster three-dot menu in the header to "Add Mini App." This should work smoothly. -> Wallet Stuck Connecting? If you see an "infinity connecting wallet" screen, it's usually a cache issue. The quick fix is: 1. Close Reply. 2. In your Farcaster client, click your wallet and let it load. 3. Re-open Reply. I've also added better error handling, so if you ever see an "unauthorized" message, a simple app refresh and wallet reconnect in settings will solve it. Thank you for your patience and for all the bug reports that made this possible. Now, back to building the rest of the roadmap.
