_tldr_
i realised that my idea was too ambitious and loosely defined (houses onchain)
i found a real problem to address for myself: scheduling casts on farcaster
my new idea is: build a scheduler for casts on farcaster
_idea development_
i write and schedule several weekly posts for x.com/ethrome and for x.com/urbeeth using buffer.com
it's not the worst experience in the world, but not the best either, so i thought: can i do this myself with the x api, maybe some library like tweety, cron jobs and a cloud server? (https://vercel.com/templates/python) ...
Play Video Play Video sure, i could, actually not too easy but can be done - apparently the x api is notoriously hard to work with. however... my friend and neighbourhood lemon (co-founder of urbe.eth) suggested, why not do one for farcaster? then we could automate posts on both platforms!
so off i went figuring out how to do this... the cron jobs and server part remain the same, but the key tool will be the neynar sdk to post directly from a script https://docs.neynar.com/docs/how-to-create-a-farcaster-bot
a nice to have would be to still connect to the x api, so that when my tweets scheduled on buffer are published, my app sees them and reposts them as a farcaster cast! not sure yet if we'd use this feature.
my mvp has 3 steps:
1. cast from script using neynar
2. schedule a cast with a cron job
3. host my app on a cloud server so it runs 24/7
first things first. i am late as i have been finishing off https://beearly.club/ submission for the base onchain summer buildathon
so now i need to build a toy version this weekend. i need to build step 1 at least,
