planning on deploying this as a web app with a dedicated brand to evaluate demand + growth potential
i'll be documenting my journey here and probably doing a lot of things wrong
but my goal is to learn what works and get better at marketing and product growth as i'm a relative noob
threw this plan together at 2am last night
knowing how to use photoshop is basically redundant as a skill now
you just have to be able to articulate what you want to create/edit and nano banana will do it for you
last night i vibe coded an app with Google AI studio for generating images of models showcasing custom clothing items - using the new gemini 2.5 flash model (nano banana)
clothing brands could literally use this right now instead of paying for a photoshoot, it's that good.
just published an article documenting my current thoughts on decentralized social as a whole and what I believe is needed to reach mainstream adoption
tldr; we need to focus more on building consumer-friendly experiences with viral-potential that even non-technical users can immediately understand and use — applies to the entire crypto-industry imo
would love to hear any thoughts on this, always happy to discuss it
collectibles are interesting, seems like a good step towards sustainable creator monetization if holders could gain something additional by owning someones cast
what could be a good use case for these NFTs?

right now, farcaster’s main appeal is that it feels like a small, aligned corner of the internet: pro-crypto, pro-decentralization, etc
but that feeling probably fades once the network reaches a certain size — so what becomes farcaster’s main draw then?
personally, i don’t think mini apps or decentralization alone will be enough to convert the mainstream
the monetization opportunities are definitely compelling — but is that enough?
is money more important than reach for creators?
is money more important than entertainment for consumers?
maybe farcaster will need a new kind of differentiation once it crosses that threshold
what do I get out of buying a cast in the @base.base.eth app?
showing a quick explainer of how content coins work when clicking on the button would add a lot of needed clarity to the flow

why are you on farcaster?
what's the unique value you're getting here that you can't get on twitter, tiktok, instagram, etc?
curious to hear from both active creators and users that consume more than create (lurkers)
