With it being a relatively slow week in the Builderverse and the recent launch of permissionless signups, I thought I'd take the chance to highlight some awesome Farcaster tools since we're always encouraging everyone to check it out! Below you'll find a variety of projects, all utilizing the Farcaster protocol.
Some of these projects have built incredibly interesting apps like onchain live audio, location sharing, and even discussions directly on any webpage. The Farcaster ecosystem is really beginning to flourish, and we should see Builders creating even more exciting tools as time goes on which is really exciting.
Aburra
Formerly known as Alphacaster, Aburra is a Farcaster client that has also introduced a Web3 live audio platform similar to Twitter Spaces. Built by Builder member Billzh, it has been a great experience so far. Keep an eye out for his next Farcaster Builder chat on Aburra! In the meantime, there is a BLVKHVND Q4 Pro Team Update scheduled for today at 1:30pm EDT!
Later.wtf
A simple tool to schedule casts to be posted at a specific date and time. Built by Alex Grover.
FarQuest
Complete FarQuests, earn FarPoints, and collect FarLoot. FarQuest takes the Farcaster experience to whole other level. Built by @n and @jc.
Farcord
A more Discord-like experience for Farcaster. Built by @pedropregueiro.
Flink
Connect your identities across Farcaster, Twitter, Ethereum, and more. Built by @slokh.
Herocast
A Farcaster client built by hellno.
OpenCast

Marble
An easy tool to help you write and publish long casts into threads. Built by @destiner.
Launchcaster
Launchcaster is a community for sharing, discovering, and owning web3 products. Your launch is a chance to share your new product, feature, or announcement with Launchcaster and the broader web3 community. Built by @jayme.
Kiwi News
Highly curated news & content for web3 builders. New link every 4 hours. All links are handpicked by the Kiwi community. Built by @macbudkowski.
Pincaster
Whenever someone casts a link to a book URL (currently supporting Amazon and Goodreads), Pincaster automatically creates a book collection and adds the cast to the list. If the book collection already exists, the cast is seamlessly included (Collections and casts are updated every 24 hours). It currently also has a Podcast collection, with more Collections to come. Built by @matallo.eth.
Hatecast
See who unfollowed who. Built by @fun.
Tiles.cool
Display images and videos from Farcaster channels. Built by @brianjckim.

Frens Maps
Location sharing for onchain friends. This is still an early product, but seems like a really cool sneak peek of what's in store for the future of Farcaster apps. DM jpren.eth for early access.

Buidler
Buidler is a social web annotation that enables you to comment and engage in discussions on any webpage. When users create posts on Farcaster client apps that include web links, Buidler serves as a bridge, displaying all discussions related to that URL. Built by @applefather.eth.
Builder Channel on Farcaster
The Builder Channel on Farcaster displays a feed of activity from members of Builder including casts and onchain activity such as auctions, proposals, and votes. You can also now see the DAO feed directly on the nouns.build website by clicking 'Feed' as shown in the screenshot below!
It's a really great way to keep up to date with your fellow Builders! Very recently Farcaster has even gone permissionless! Anyone can now signup for the protocol without an invite. Head to your Farcaster client of choice (Warpcast, Aburra, Flink, Herocast, etc) and sign up today. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out for assistance!

do sign up for supercast.xyz lol shill me your other favorite clients and farcaster network tools etc etc etc ima pin this so we can collect some cool stuff
and follow fellow replyguy @woj.eth so you can give him feedback and annoy him if and when supercast goes down
Far.quest is great, @nicoglennon and @jc answer all ur questions individually it’s amazing
Personal support from the founders in a 9,000+ sized telegram group :)
Do not make this the standard we have to live up to!!!
still in beta ig but https://www.fiids.xyz/ is like tweetDeck for fc, pretty cool
The a16z GitHub list is probably the best up to date resource. This was a few months ago but still worth a quick read imo https://paragraph.xyz/@builder/buzz-14
@ponder @flink @super @farchiver @kiwi @launch @frens @neynar @airstack.eth @crew
@paragraph also.
might write one tn
https://far.quest/
I did. To me it’s a way to actively participate in the protocol. I don’t like supercast in its current form but if farcast goes down, super cast won’t be. What’s interesting is I don’t think you’ll see channels as that’s a Warpcast app feature. I need to be fact checked on that.
there are channels on supercast but the ui is funky and idk how to cast into channels from it yet lol
Ah damn. Didn’t notice. So yeah not great haha. I think we saw the same thing when Twitter first came out. The thing I think is great about this protocol, is that no one can remove API access, and then you lose really great apps that were developed for it
I needed this thank you 🫡
https://warpcast.com/hammertoesknows/0x1bd0e0ea
omg that’s an incredible bit
Thank you king
Not really clients but, https://farcaster.spindl.xyz/ for FC hubs map https://www.farcasteruserstats.com/ for some cool user stats

https://negationgame.com 👉👈🥹
May be a little biased but @ponder @survey https://weponder.io is a good one to try 🤷🏻♂️

this is the way
🗳️ This cast has been tagged as a potential survey topic! If approved, a new survey will be crafted and delivered shortly. Want to help decide? Come vote with us: https://t.me/+QdtIIDi8uzZlNTcx

On the roadmap 🫡
quickcast.xyz is live changing (I’ve heard [but not really 😜])
