excited to have two amazing folks join the @cura and @openrank team! @bharath - he was building cool crypto social stuff at 0xppl app! his speed of talking and shipping is like a choo choo 🚂 @osuji.eth - he was building a bunch of mini apps with seedclub. he's already 2x the humor quotient on our team and already shipped a great new experiment with cast embeddings for cura (coming monday 👀)

great to see the team of agents behind @faircaster leverage @openrank to filter quality content and users so that the faircaster agent can make great recommendations. another cool example of programmable open social. this sort of thing wouldn't be possible (or shortlived) on reddit/twitter/linkedin. gg @luc

good take. although clients that either bring their own users (base) or are purpose built for a different form factor or persona than warpcast (eg: channels) have a good shot at iterating to find pmf, while warpcast does its own iteration for pmf. this could be a great hedged bet for farcaster protocol and early users - many horses working hard for pmf. but only possible if other clients are unblocked on protocol dependencies (storage, signup fees, channels).

what if every friday you got a weekly digest of top casts in your channel? we're experimenting this with a few channels today onwards - cast gets automatically posted from the channel mod account at 9am - 0 effort by mod, cura magically curates using reactions+leaderboards - users simply open the channel mini app and scroll the top weekly feed h/t to @ashmoney.eth @jonathancolton @javabu.eth for trying it out for /football /nature /politics

now you can cast, reply, share from the @cura mini app via the farcaster app composer. we want users to get their job done without friction.

if you're actively building communities through channels, we added something cool on @cura - channel mods can now send notifications to their community. channel mods want to drop announcements about airdrops, weekly recap, top casts, rules/rituals. but it's hard to reliably and timely reach their users. announcements and pinned casts get lost in the noise. through direct notifications, channel mods can build a direct relationship with their users. we’ve been testing with a few channels, ping us if you want to try it out.

@javabu.eth just rewarded ~2000 active users (past year) of the /politics channel with his channel token. few interesting things: - he's building a polymarket like mini app for the channel - he'll keep rewarding active users in /politics over the next two years based on their activity and engagement (via @cura) good playbook to grow, reward and engage channels/communities. https://cura.network/politics/leaderboard?leaderboardType=lifetime

Curation is a cornerstone of the internet. we rolled out a couple of features on @cura that bring curation to communities in useful ways: New user feeds for channels - help community builders discover and welcome new folks joining their tribe Token Feeds - help discover interesting content around a token, based on token holder voices and engagement
