Product update! We’re launching the web client with cast and profile links: warpcast.com/dcposch warpcast.com/hades/0x627c07 Also: we’re rebranding the Merkle Farcaster apps to Warpcast. Over the next few days, the apps will automatically change over to the new name and icon.
Why are we changing the name of our apps from Farcaster to Warpcast? The name of the protocol, Farcaster, is not changing. However, we wanted to make it clearer that our Merkle-built apps are different than the protocol. Like the email protocol is different than Gmail.
I will need some time to process this name change trauma… but I will come around
huge shoutout to @nickcherry who went beast mode to build this in a few weeks, and @gt and @sds for all the work to get over the finish line
can we also get Phantom 👻 added to the wallet connect options? 🙏 We support ETH mainnet now https://docs.phantom.app/ethereum-and-polygon/getting-started
kudos on hard decisions! 👍 to making clear differentiation of app vs. protocol, 🥇for continuing to ship fast and being open with all of us!
huge congrats and props to the team — this is so sleek!! 🔥
Love the rebrand! Merkle was a bit too Angela Merkel for me
At least saying 'Casters' in context still works. What's the backstory on how you landed on Warpcast as the name?
Suggestion: Putting some media/art assets out on the new site for FC and WC. - Vector art of logos (I hacked the arch icon when linking from my site) and brand guidelines: Colors, spacing, etc. - FAQ page - Less "github-y" explainer of both protocol and app targeting the less techie and early-adopter crowd.
