Mad respect to @dwr and @v for having the courage to confront hard truths.
We 100% bought into the vision of a decentralized graph and built Rodeo explicitly on top of Farcaster to find our first hundred users.
The strategy worked and we were able to bootstrap an engaged, healthy community that's still with us today....

Context:
- We're a small team with extreme focus.
- We primarily market on IG and TikTok, which is where most creators live.
If you haven't logged into Rodeo in a while, would love to know what you think of all the new features.

v1 frames are officially deprecated, which means the Top 9 frame no longer works. 😢
Fear not, we're hard at work bringing back Top 9 as part of the Rodeo miniapp. I expect everything to go live next week. 🚀
In the meantime, enjoy our new hot pink custom preview images:

Tools aren't just metadata on Rodeo.
They're distinct communities capable of hosting vibrant discussion, conversation and exchange.
To prove the point, we're hosting regular AMAs across various communities over the next few weeks.
Join us tomorrow and go deep with Jake Farmer (aka designbyjake) in the after effects ...

It's pretty wild. We added the ability to tag tools on Rodeo late last week.
Since then, almost every new post coming into the system is now tagged with tools.
It's fun to ship what your users want!
Tools aren't just metadata either. They're distinct communities on Rodeo. We'll have more to share on what that means soon.

We're soft launching two new experiences on @rodeodotclub tomorrow:
1. Tool-based communities
2. Discussions
To kick things off, we're hosting the incredible Phi Hoang of Perplexity who will be doing an AMA in the Midjourney community.
Conversation kicks off at 9 AM PT. See you there!
