Future of channels convo hosted by @cura is the don’t miss bi-weekly round table for me. Sooo good. @inceptionally @humpty.eth @anmworld3 @moe & of course @sahil all sharing thoughts & ideas 

Channels are in the BDFLs hands now. Which direction will they go? idk but follow cura & join the lobby. General consensus & working code.  

My outlook:
Channels are miniapps
They should control signers
They issue entitlements 
They have wallets

My desires:
💯 decentralized 
FID based ‘mini’app centric
FIP-2 at their core (opens non social-feed use cases)

Challenges 
- [many]

wrapped up a great call with some channel mods/owners

talked about possible roadmap for channels, what's missing, magic moments. some common threads:
- channels want more ways to drive engagement and growth, not just distribution. 
- discovery is important across apps, but so is having direct access to your community.
- folks run different types of channels, so flexibility matters across feeds, onboarding and moderation.
- the idea of owning your front page for your channel without relying on one app is powerful. 

thanks to those who still show up for channels!

Sorry Iissed this one but all those points resonate with me. Thank you for sharing this man.

a lot can be learnt from sub reddit style of things i feel, when it comes to channels here

Is there ways to have a channel tied to a mini app? For example a channel where you can only cast if you have the mini app installed?
