What is the Farcaster team working on? 1. Stability - a platform upgrade introduced a lot of mobile bugs. we're fixing them as fast as we can. 2. Clarity - notifications, feeds and channels have "magic" default settings that work for most users, but not everyone. we're adding more choices so people can choose the experience they want. 3. Growth - we're running experiments to get new users, and to help all users get more discovery in the feed through good recommendations by the feed algorithm. 4. Video - we're making video a first class citizen, and we're pretty excited about this. we'll have a beta soon, but it will take a few months before we get close to the major video apps in terms of ux. 5. A new experiment to help creator monetization (more details soon!) 6. Miniapps - we're continuing to fix minor issues, update docs and support developers as they are launching. 7. Snapchain - continuing to improve the developer experience.

what about reducing storage? wasnt this prize supposed drop 10x with snapchain and that would mean much cheaper creation of fids via alternative clients? https://farcaster.xyz/jpfraneto.eth/0x39f58afc

Mini apps are in a good state overall. Im a big fan.Still having trouble debugging why @cooprecs MiniApp works fine on mobile but on desktop it gets stuck on blank screen. the ability to inspect the console in a MiniApp would be helpful. How can I get the desktop MiniApp to work?

Glad to hear youre improving video. I know it’s a predominantly text based app currently but I think that’s been because video was such a second class citizen in the first place. There is an entire group of people who both consume and produce mostly video content and now Farcaster can be a home for them as well.

Creator monetization is a must thank you. The LB for farcaster rewards seems to favor only the same folxs where when I look at the content its pandering and def not “bangers”

first time click profile, then, go out, go back and casts are there (network delay or something with rendering would say 🤔) happens a lot and it is frustrating

Love this all - curious re:4, how much you’re learning from coinbase wallet? One thing is pretty clear - quality needs to go up for a good video experience.

Hey! I'm trying to change my farcaster name (reasons not far-fetched), but somehow i don't know how to do that. I was given the option of using ens which I don't want to. I should be able to change the name once every 6 months or so. Can anyone help?

Could this also be addressed, the leaderboard algo is affecting a lot of us, terribly, some have their scores frozen while others have their score crawling slowly https://farcaster.xyz/retalien/0x5704f2f3

Okay, please fix your mobile app. It’s always stuck loading on my end, even when just opening it, and it takes a long time to load. It works fine on my computer, but not on mobile. I’ve already complained about this recently, but it’s still not resolved.
