Degens, how do you see the Farcaster client landscape playing out? More like social (winner takes all) or like browsers (one big one, but others do well too)?

the latter… sortof. a browser doesn’t creatively interpret a website’s code to make it better. in most cases it faithfully translates the code (with problems if safari). a farcaster client can be considerably more creative with the underlying database; it doesn’t /need/ to look like twitter (even if farcaster client does). the best client can be a radical departure from the defacto client.

The latter, and similar to Twitter clients (one main official one, a few successful indie ones) before Twitter rugged them. If I were trying it, I would make one that caters to communities that just need an online space to chat, leaning on the channels feature, and have it basically not mention crypto at all. Almost like a reddit app that lets you create your subreddit and default to it, and you could send to your friends and it would onboard them to your community first and foremost Farcaster client for turbo-normie communities that wouldn’t force the rest of the existing communities/channels on them Like

I’d say the second option would be the most beneficial for everyone. For the whole ecosystem to thrive, clients should be different and offer unique features, no need to compete directly with the main client Like you mentioned earlier with the promoted posts feature, I think that’s a great idea. The more unique features each client brings, the higher the chance they’ll coexist, kind of like how web browsers do today

for now, i don't see reasons to use any other clients rather than farcaster. maybe when there's millions and millions of users, it'll make more sense — but for all 37 of us, just one client is fine.

I see users picking farcaster client <warpcast> or when it releases the integrated coinbase wallet feed I can see other clients getting 5 to 10 % max of users , basically being bottom feeders

Multiple big ones, rest grow with the big. The ones that don’t innovate get wiped. Similar to the software or any other industry.

Would it be good for society if its winner takes all? Imo, if everyone has a fighting chance I’d appreciate it. At the same time, it’s good to have something to strive to: (Sort of like browsers but not as Googly)

Still the community is small .. need a bigger community to decide .. I hope it becomes more decentralized ( browsers )

Probably one big winner and few niche winners like Goatcast (tweetdeck like fc client)
