Open source this, open source that

How about you open your code editor and build something yourself instead of demanding that a company give you all of the pieces you need?

So sick of the entitlement from some devs on here, most apps wouldn’t even get retained usage if you could clone Warpcast anyway

Enough.

A complete - server and client - set of reference implementations for an open source protocol is not entitlement, it's standard practice.

Have you seen these from Merkle and Neynar? Or Opencast? Or Herocast? Or Nook? What else do you need?

The difference between a reference implementation sponsored by the protocol owner is that you can *trust* it is working to spec - in effect it is a part of the spec. Hobbyist clients are not the same thing. This is common practice, not entitlement.

Depends who you ask and what your intention is, I guess. I just take issue with calling people names like "entitled" - it's not productive. V wrote just yesterday it's not something they ruled out because it's something they have a fundamental issue with (i.e. that people are entitled for asking) - it's simply a matter of priority and maintenance effort (i.e. dealing with a bunch of people asking how to run Warpcast on a calculator, or demanding XYZ changes).

I am building on Farcaster - but I'm taking a risk in doing so, and a part of that risk is if Dan and V are hit by a bus, there's a non-zero chance Farcaster dies with them due to the engineering that would be required to bring up a client to Warpcast-level quality and adherence to spec.

So on that basis I take issue with you calling people entitled for wanting to reduce that mode of failure. A social network is built by its users, and it's not entitled for those people - who are committing time and effort to building a presence or even software here - to ask for a reference implementation that ensures longevity.

What are you practically missing from those docs + OSS though that’s blocking you from building on Farcaster?
