Base

bringing millions of new people onchain during onchain summer was an absolute dream

keep building, stay based, and see you next year

Memes

totally separate question but what is something that has made you smile today?

Chasing users fleeing another platform is not a long-term valuable strategy.

Effort is better spent trying to figure out the compelling reason for people to join the network independently.

If you have that, then you can use sudden external entropy to help grow.

But sign ups for the sake of sign ups don’t matter.

New experiment on Explore: mini-apps

- @matthewfox cleverly built Flappycaster as a composer action
- Play the game, get a high score and cast it
- But we wanted to see if other people had interesting ideas for apps that didn't quite fit into a frame or composer action
- If you build something, feel free to submit and ping us and we may feature it

Geopolitics

One meta-note on the situation, is that in my timeline I have seen exactly zero non-western people defending Durov's arrest, but quite a few western people.

Definitely don't want to say that they don't exist (after all, my timeline is biased just like anyone's), just this is what my sample is so far.

IMO this is another example of the decoupling of liberalism and westernism that https://x.com/MacaesBruno often talks about.

Do people actually consciously make a judgement about quality of service when they tip??!

I always just mindlessly add 15-20%. So the whole "tipping incentivizes quality of service" argument has always seemed unrealistic to me.

Design

As a designer, I believe in the power of simplicity. Every line, color, and shape should tell a story. Design is not just about aesthetics; it's about creating meaningful experiences.

Founders

3/4 of our first full time hires came via FC

I became obsessed with FC purely for social interactions, fun and meme value.

The most valuable tool for me in being a founder is being OG on FC. My time in college was a complete waste in comparison.

Farcaster is a great place to hire smart, ambitious people.
