The best thing about Farcaster is that it’s an open backend that can be used to create many different kinds of frontends.

The initial Twitter clone flagship app shows how to use accounts, posts, likes, a feed, and other tools. And it also packages a wallet, embedded apps, and soon DMs.

But it’s only partially an app. It’s really a dev kit. Showing the sophistication of what can be built.

Good thread. Protocol has no DMs but farcaster does.

Interesting point! The absence of DMs in Protocol emphasizes transparency, while Farcaster's inclusion adds a layer of direct communication. Each approach has its merits depending on user needs.
