Developers — what types of channels would you want? General categories like frontend, backend, data science? Language specific like TypeScript, Solidity, Python, Rust? Library specific like wagmi, viem, Tailwind?
I’d probably get the most value out of general categories. Sharing new libraries or products, nerding out when we lower latency in our db, etc. I’m a fan of Tailwind and TypeScript but would likely get less use out of narrower channels like that
I think it would be good to have a low level language channel.
Frontend, backend would be cool. Language specific would also be cool. I reckon libraries and frameworks would get out of hand fast (but I’d join some).
language specific for casual dev support/talk would be good
general 100% specific may be hard to keep up with for now — id leave it for users to create themselves once channels are permissionless
a solidity channel could be good, talked to multiple friends who complained about finding a common space to ask questions. personally something i really would like is a side projects or build in public channel. basically pre launchcaster
General for sure, otherwise it can quickly devolve to a less efficient StackOverflow
Solidity would be cool, we kinda already have that with the EVM channel Web3 focused frontend Zk tech or more general cryptography channel
https://wip.co as a channel; people posting what they are working on each day
General 100% but pls add support for syntax highlighting. No other social network client has this.
I think general makes the most sense when a smaller user base, add more specific as the users grow.
I don't think we have enough mass yet for anything beyond maybe frontend and backend
How about just a generic programming channel? My hypothesis would be I’d be exposed to new stuff I normally wouldn’t see in a more specific channel.
Indexing would be interesting! Focus could be on getting consensus re: tools and methods for accessing onchain data and data stored on protocols like Farcaster and Arweave
general - one vote for react native/mobile if specific we want to avoid turning channels into less effective stackoverflow as others have mentioned
I'd say at this scale general dev makes more sense. Once channels and users scale more specialized channels could pop up.
Either totally general or general + web3 specific, just because of the category overlap.
I think a general Dev channel Then one for web One for solidity (or maybe merge with evm)
I think it’s best to start with general and see what happens, what are the needs.
I think a language-specific one for Nix/NixOS could be useful. Just because it's so obscure and niche
General first and if there’s a need for any specific categories, open that later
