they said channels were dead they said farcaster was dead meanwhile, /diet continued to build and quietly flourish @mizu, thank you taking the time to write this up and collect feedback from your channel members! imo /diet is the most successful channel farcaster has seen and a great example of what's possible. "It is a place people can safely return to, a third place that nurtures small daily challenges, learning, and human connection. Members value this community for its warmth, freedom, psychological safety, encouragement to keep going, and the way it opens doors to new worlds."
sama was right that AI is more like electricity than transistors there is a real continuous flow from a service provider to a consumer - model companies are the new utility companies pretty much all modern work stops when the flow stops, similar to the impact of power outages in the future, any model company outage will bring much of the physical world to a standstill
Watched a 150 year old cedar tree being taken down on private property. She didn’t look sick or like a hazard but who knows. I hope there was a good reason I’m going to need a minute 😭
How I’m spending my CEF grant I bought the deep. Just kidding. I’m spending money on standard maintenance and app improvements ($150/month) and on the community - about $30 per week. I topped up the X API balance to make the bot available to everyone on X too. @joysender also got dozens of times smarter on Farcaster. (lol just use he please, he’s free and fun!) I’m considering replacing the image generation model inside the app itself. I’m polishing Celebration Hub to absolute perfection so I can take marketing more seriously and make it not only the best on Farcaster, but the best on the internet in general. I also donated part of the grant to other builders and launched a /poidh campaign. As you probably know, I share all the progress weekly - and even daily I post smaller updates. Just follow along / check replies 👇 👇 👇 It's great to build on @farcaster.
So very proud to be the recipient of a builder Grant this month! I will have a much more detailed post to share about my August road map soon! Thank you so much to nounishProf and the rest for believing in me and my work! Suffice to say, I will be building artist tools
full thoughts on this in a bit because I'm about to hop on calls back to back to back but I cannot thank @nounishprof @adrienne @farcaster and @clanker enough! can't wait to get these funds back out to the community and if you have ideas for fun initiatives to run please reach out to me 💙
i think tiny and ana literally rewired our brains around what a collab can look like. idk about you, but i need a cold shower to cope with HOW FUCKING AMAZING THIS COLLAB IS. IMMACULATE
Oh shit, just caught up on @gmfarcaster and @rugclub got a $1k CEF grant! So awesome -- thank you @adrienne and @nounishprof!!
And just a note about this: if you weren't one of the grantees this round, keep building! We do have a list of builders that have been recommended or spotted on the timeline that we are still keeping an eye on. It's been a quieter month, so less funds to work with and therefore a smaller round this time. Also, this is the third month so during August we'll review what we've done thus far with the Clanker team. If you've received a grant, make sure we have your feedback and how you used funds so we can report that back and evaluate for future iteration. TY!
