Hey guys 🎉 ! I've been working on a cool project throughout the past month! It's called farseer and it's a re-implementation of a Farcaster hub that does not require syncing before operating! You can extend its functionalities by writing your own plugins (i.e indexers with your own DB). The project is open-source & I'm looking for feedback! Consider trying it out & maybe giving a star to the project ⭐ ! Thanks! note: the documentation is not ideal but with your feedback it will improve! https://github.com/noctisatrae/farseer

Pro tips for all the aspiring software engineers like me: learn to measure and profile what you build. At some point, there is no right way to engineer a server, service or system. You can only solve the tradeoffs/dilemmas and choose the right tools if you have statistical insight into your needs. e.g knowing your read/write ratio to chose the right concurrent synchronization mechanism, changing your UI/UX to optimize experiences in consumer apps Observability and telemetry are *essential* to deliver great software; so get learning ;) !
