Our priorities this week 1. Fix biggest user-reported paint points — bugs, video, spam labels 2. Make onboarding easier — bug fixes and early work on a new invite / referral system 3. Improve wallet — swap and NFT reliability 4. Improve miniapps — manifest tool, domain changes, better discovery, better docs 5. Starting work on a new idea (will take some time)

Holding pattern. No clear consensus on what channel owners are willing to trade off.

What would be the options? tbh feels like channels had potential but was never fully realized. I understand how it's not a great lever for growth ROI so far, so makes sense to not -waste- time on it unless a clear goal on what to i guess..

A few things offered (each one helps reduce complexity and easier to move into the protocol sooner): 1. Reduce surface area for channels in Farcaster app, e.g. no channels profile page 2. No namespace, e.g. /ai moves to a link (similar to Discord) 3. Primary way to manage and interact with channels is in channel-specific app like Cura 4. Channels are narrowcast -- you only see channel content from channels you follow

2) Namespace will end up squatted and people more frusturated than they are today. What do you do with an abandoned channel like /ai ? 4) People want communities but also growth / distribution. If you want a community hard to let other new people post in your channel since it will most likely not be high quality to start.

2) would argue namespace solves itself, i.e. some communities become lindy while the others whither. abandoned channels don't mean abandoned casts, so any value from /ai will be referenced in the winning space 4) growth and distribution are only loosely coupled. the latter develops as a function of the value of a channel's content. the former will have its own quality (cold-start) challenges, but the communities which become lindy will snowball what sort of organized signal does merkle need to rip the band-aid?
