A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

We’re going to MIT license open source the mobile and web clients this summer. No backend. Like BlueSky does. 

We will start with a flattened one time and then work our way to continuous release. We won’t accept PRs. Strictly for a reference client.

I don’t expect anyone to run a production service with a fork. Too much infra.

IMO this is the right path to start from, bullish on Farcaster. It's much easier to do OSS from day 0, but midway through an actively developed product is very challenging and this gets us a strong foundation to start with.

Hope we can flesh out more light weight infrastructure designs as a community later.
