what is herocast again?
=======================

[herocast is a desktop Farcaster client](https://app.herocast.xyz) for power users aka superhuman for Farcaster. [No one knows what it means, but it's provocative. It's gets the people going!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eRRab36XLI)

It has support for multiple accounts and can switch channels faster than you can say 'Memes'. It has a command palette `Cmd + K` to control everything. You can navigate with `J` and `K` through all lists, `L` to like, `R` to reply and `Shift + R` to recast. Switch channels with `Shift + 1 to 9`. Open external links in a cast with `Shift + O`.

tl;dr
