@v on Farcaster: "Warpcast is being rebranded to..."

7mo

Warpcast is being rebranded to Farcaster 1. Mobile app will be called Farcaster 2. The Arch logo will return 3. Website will move from warpcast.com to farcaster.xyz. 4. All links will be backwards compatible. No action needed. Will roll out this week or next, depending on app store reviews.

We're planning to move forward with rebranding the Warpcast mobile and web app to Farcaster. 1. Nothing is changing any time soon. We will take our time with this and have plenty of communication about it across multiple channels. The earliest the change will happen is mid-May, but a decent chance it happens in June.

Expected side effects: 1. Some users may be logged out on web 2. Some things may be a little glitchy on launch day, but should stabilize quickly.

While I think this move makes sense, how would you incentivize developers building alternative clients? @woj created a fantastic client /super and you scooped it up (hiring Woj), essentially killing the competition Currently, we have /recaster with hardly any users and /fiids, which I love and hope it continues existing Remember how you started Farcaster and don’t turn into Facebook, eliminating competition on your way to the top

The same people

After the rebranding, if the Merkle team can open source everything, not just the clients, it would benefit all developers and attract more clients.

The shrike will be unleashed on anyone who doesn’t accept the rebrand, dragging them back in time to change their heretical beliefs

Time to claim that .com then as well. AFAIK xyz domains are lower ranked and more prone to getting blocked, ending up in spam, etc.
