gm. A few people, including @juli, have asked about creating an official group chat for Reply's core supporters. Honestly, I've been hesitant. My biggest fear is creating a space that devolves into just price talk. That would drain energy and distract from the real mission of building a useful product. My time is best spent in the code, not moderating a chat all day. But I can't ignore the other side of the coin. The amount of brilliant feedback, feature ideas, and strategic insights I get from this community is incredible. A dedicated space for the true believers to connect and brainstorm could be a superpower for the project. This brings me back to an idea that's been on the long-term roadmap for a while: token-gated group chats built directly into Reply. I'd always thought of this as a feature for other communities to use. But this recent feedback makes me think the first and most important use case should be for our own. This feels right. We would be eating our own dog food - using our own future product to build our own community. It would keep the conversation focused within the context of the app we're all building together. This moves the "Group Chat" feature much higher up my priority list. I'm still focused on the AMA flow first, but this feels like the clear next step. Curious to hear your thoughts. Does this feel like the right way to build our community hub?

I like when Teams build what they - as a project, community - need themselves and productize it later. Hence, I think your approach can be very valuable long-term. However, I‘ve also seen many projects focus too much on great solutions vs offering stakeholders, community, project, team what they actually need &or want at the Moment for much less effort. low-hanging fruit to go from 0.1 to 1 and 2.. 1️⃣ farcaster chat for quality feedback can be launched instantly 2️⃣ telegram chat for price & chit chat can be launched within minutes and reach other crypto folks (without you spending too much time on it. Maybe someone wants to help, run & moderate it?)

Okay, that's sharp point. The risk of letting the perfect be the enemy of the good is real. You're right. We don't have to wait to start building the community. So let's do it. I'm going to create an OG chat on Farcaster right now. We can use it as a testing ground and see how the dynamic evolves. The long-term vision is still to build this natively into Reply, but this experiment will give us invaluable data on what a healthy community hub actually needs. Consider it our V1. Thank you for the push. It was the right one.
