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.

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.

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

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)

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.

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? 😵‍💫

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 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
