Base

groupies

i've been testing out the base app for a few days now, and this is my experience so far:

• navigation isn't there yet, i still get lost a lot — specially because tapping the timeline button doesn't get you back on the timeline when you're inside a reply.
• made $8 non real (unless i dump the coins i get for posting) dollars at its peak.
• animated pfps are so fucking back.
• all the in-app animations are pretty sick and make the app feel so alive (refresh, tabbar buttons, posting).
• works when farcaster app is down, and it will even display more followers on your profile.
• can't post on farcaster channels, which is a big turn down for me as /groupies is my main one.

i'm liking it so far, i've found myself opening it more and more lately.

How's the feed algorithm over there? Are miniapps running smoothly? Are there any shortcomings in how the key features are implemented compared to Farcaster?

i don't use many miniapps on the daily but the feed is pretty good, found some new interesting people i've never seen on farcaster.
