What's something that's confusing to you about Farcaster?
the whole topic of amps is still confusing to me… maybe something to highlight in a FC broadcast?
Nothing really confusing to me, but a very small set of people I've invited asked me "why does it ask me to create a wallet" (and those are people in the web3 space already)
I wish the Discover page is showing a list of apps built on Farcaster rather than the NFT stuff, and one can interact with them via a built in web browser and sign in with Farcaster.
Invited non technical friends and for them it was the seed phrase. They misunderstood both what it was for and how important it was (and lost it). More personally, I still find threads hard to navigate.
can I attach more than one wallet? I think I can but not sure (my first day here) Also unsure about “direct cast” rules, is it like a setting to turn on and off or do both folks need to follow each other
Re-casting. Sometimes I see the same cast a few times in my feed because different people I follow re-casted it.
Seems like the name change is still settling in. Many responses talking about WC instead of FC. Not confusing but there are topics with uncertainty. Largely around the L1. eg Rent or own FNames? Governance over smart contract changes? Timing of mainnet deploy.
How to explicitly figure out what people are getting value from here Even the bar for just likes is v high - @pixel and I have been doing some data diving and the average likes per cast per day is only 2-3 and median is 1 People aren’t participating enough to really parse signal from the silence consistently
why I can't paste a picture? I need to attach it 😑 (i'm using it on my desktop)
When FC moves to mainnet, will I be able to use my main ens eth address for FC? I can't figure out why a need a separate eth address pair, which I don't use for anything else. Does this have something to do with testnet? It made the onboarding process confusing for me. I also find it hard to explain to new users.Thanks
direct casts - since they disappear and are only on mobile it would be good to have “seen” receipts
Oh just thought about another one that's Warpcast related, I can't figure out how to search for a NFT collection to find holders on Farcaster (for example I wanted to find Nouns and it's not in the Discover tab anywhere, so I went to a profile which I know has a Nouns to find it)
The onboarding / signing on non-warpcaster apps like Eventcaster, etc! Although I feel this will be a solved issue soon once the Sign-in-with-Farcaster feature is launched.
Why no back arrow on the follower page? Gonna toot this horn till y’all fix it cause it’s really annoying 😉
For me the role of “discover” and its centrality has been a bit confusing (esp at first). The use of the flame + placement feels like it wants to be a shortcut to “highlights”
once i'm in, feels very intuitive! logged in with a new wallet at first, no purchase of NFTs, as it's a business account. was friction getting through the first push to integrate NFT to profile, can't remember how i did it honestly. But as a business, don't necessarily want onchain activity visible.
why can't I search for topics or mentions of things that I'm interested in?
There's some inside baseball going on that can feel pretty non-obvious. Like I'm not actually sure how to get invite codes, for example.
What's the best experience for FC auth these days? Is there a "connect with FC" button I can drop in that does mobile+QR code auth? Or do we still have to cast to auth?
The search is based on people rather than topics. I also don’t know what the “for you” tab is based on.
It's the typical unclear messaging of web3. Why, why now, what are the advantages of a "sufficiently decentralized" social media network, all explained with simple practical examples. What's in here for me?
How do I use all the other apps in a way that makes Farcaster more interesting? Only Warpcast is easy to use, everything else requires a detailed manual.
I don’t really get the idea of using the seed phrase in a wallet to access other apps using the protocol. This feels like mixing abstraction levels. Like an L1.5 thing in between L1 and L2. You really expect me to put the FC seed phrase into a metamask type wallet to access dApps that build on FC? 😵💫
Sign up. When I'm going to present this to my Digital Marketing students things like getting permission, Eth wallets, linking to a Coinbase etc account is a lot of barriers and confusing to non Mining / Crypto aware people.
As someone with the initials “WW” I dig the W app icon, but I’m not a fan of the name ‘Warpcast’ The word warp has some unfortunate connotations. That’s about it… Great platform, The client could use a rebrand tho’
Someone shared a farcaster link that opened fine in a web browser but it was unclear how to get that to open in the warpcast app instead.
Some functionalities in the Farcaster protocol, like Amp, that I assumed would be integrated I'm Warpcast but... And it seems like Amp could be really interesting (if it is what I guess it could be)
Are farcaster profiles like lens profiles ? I mean are profiles nft in farcaster?
Not confusing but search could be optimized. On the positive side, love the functionality of changing like button to gm, gn and so on...it's cool feature 😎
Notifications Been happening a lot, App icon say 23 notifications, enter and there is actually 0 iPhone
I can't tell whether the timeline is chronological or algorithmic. It feels mostly chronological but sometimes there's odd casts.
Where to find my invite link so I can dominate this leaderboard 👀 (I’m a mobile app user)
liking it overall so far. but confusing why i can’t get to it on desktop (though realize that’s probably in process). thx!
Im not confused about this, but I wish the "following" feed ranked casts, replies, and recasts in chronological order. I believe it was recently adjusted and im now rarely using the "highlights" feed. It feels like the top of the following feed is now mainly populated with content by the same users.
I’m confused why the app icon on my cellphone doesn’t show the little red number telling me I have notifications.
appearance of nft collections (not all visible), not so straightforward to view details
On the iPhone app I can’t seem to swipe as easily as on other apps. I find myself constantly re-swiping, finding that I have to get much closer to the edge of the screen, etc. Hope that helps! 👍
When I send a message in dm two checks appear like it’s been read but I know it hasn’t cuz the receiver of the message is asleep (device may be on)
How easy it is to close out of a cast you’re writing, saves in drafts, but for some reason it keeps happening to me with the slightest of movement/touch
No big thing, but so far, for some strange reason, I keep having trouble remembering the name 'Farcaster'.
The ownership model of the handle. Under what condition could I lose it to someone else? Can I transfer it? What rules can I expect to change?
i love the platform, but, as a professional namer: the names. both farcaster and warpcast do not call one back. they cast one away. they do not beckon, cajole, entice. the names land like a hard bag of bricks on mashed potattention. together they’re not merely confusing but jointly and severally alienating
Minor pet peeve: Clicking on 'Show more' redirects me to a page with the additional replies, and doesn't load in the replies in-place. Mostly a UX issue that can be resolved.
How do I access my drafts on mobile?😅 For some reason I expected it to function similar to Twitter that when I hit cast, I can see unsent casts. Also, the first time I hit the image/media button I expected it to also give access to videos.
