I haven’t actually built one myself so I could be full of shit… but at the Hypersnap kickoff meets difficulty to create a client was emphasized by multiple devs. They mentioned things like custom feeds, spam blocking, the data model around threaded conversations (IIRC) and more.
UNO spent like $1M making their client and Recaster spent $20, so we are average at $500k/client đź¤. Also Nouns spent $50k each for 3 clients that didn’t get very far so…it’s definitely not as easy as it could be. Maybe it’s the difference between making something and making something GOOD.
