I’m thrilled to introduce Jam – the new Farcaster app fka “Purple” – redesigned w tons of new features and improvements Available now http://jam.so iOS https://bit.ly/3Z0zzMS Android https://bit.ly/3ZjLEfX In this 🧵: motivations, plans, introduce all the new features 1/n
this is so great that we have competition across clients now 🙏 godspeed, looks rad
2/n Our motivation is to provide a fresh & valued social network, powered by web3 We chose to build on Farcaster because we believe that @v @dwr and team have taken a smart approach to protocol design and community development In social, community wins, and Farcaster has a strong builder community foundation
3/n We are taking Jam very seriously We have 10 people full-time on Jam, and our strategy is to build a complete app that compliments Warpcast today, but could be an alt-app or primary app very soon for all users
4/n Our plan since December: 1. Jan - Mar 2023: build the best alt read-only app, filling gaps in the Warpcast experience 2. April - ... : login with Farcaster: enable entirely fresh experiences for creating, curating, and consuming content, and innovating on web3 integrations like ETH Denver feed example
WHAT HAPPENED TO GRAPE TUESDAY jk congrats on the really slick rebrand and the whole rebrand process really 🫡
Really like this new design and the built in Newscaster is really great.
What is Jam? Jam provides Farcaster users superpowers, enabling them to take their Farcaster experience to the next level
5/n Search: Put plainly, Jam has the absolute best search for Farcaster You can search casts and people Search with exact match and AI Sort results by engagement: like, replies, recasts
6/n Let's Jam! One of the biggest pain points we heard from Farcaster users was about clumsy threads Not anymore. Jam features beautifully designed threads that work on a single page, in-app and web, and are ready for users to be able to reply and jam-on with Login w/FC in April
7/ Jam users can now also create an account with Google or Apple (ETH-login coming soon) and PIN casts and news and save them for later Pins are currently private, but will be able to shared publicly very soon!
9/n Threads on Jam also enable you to easily browse the people in the thread
10/n With Jam you can also sort and browse all Farcaster users by engagement metrics and time So you can easily find for example the casters with the most recent replies by others on their casts
12/n The Jam team is committed to building the most 💜 Farcaster app To do so, we need your feedback Please Jam with us on Telegram and let us know your wishes https://t.me/+rHEHsB6Xe4E3ZTMx 🙏
