What does farcaster success look like 1 year from now? What metrics define it? DAUs? Daily posts? App ecosystem building on top? Multi-client? Total user wallet net worths? 😜

@dwr FC question… I’m clearly a dumbass but still unclear on what the Discover tab is supposed to be doing? I thought it would be a way to discover projects/companies but seems to be nfts.

On your question to us: I’m still frustrated by lost casts - when I type in some content, swipe to another app for a url or something, come back and Farcaster has reloaded, the unsaved cast is gone. I know I could save to drafts before swapping apps but users be lazy.

why use NFTs for discover? for a text-heavy social media, it’s interesting that you focus fixing the discovery issue for NFTs and not profiles/people to follow and why no character/word limit?
