At the beginning of July, during EthCC, we announced our rebranding to Anser, and started opening our private beta to selected users.
At the time, Anser offered basic yet necessary features for decentralized social network specialists :
- Cast and reply schedule, with calendar view
- Inbox for mentions and replies
- Multi-account management and team sharing
- Channel moderation
- Analytics
Since then, the team has been shipping non stop. Here is what we brought you.
Finding you audience, interacting with your customers, also means diving deep into their cosy corner. Since this summer, with Anser you can deep dive in any channel, see moderated and unmoderated casts.
Anser now lets you import your scheduled casts.
Very often I have worked with marketing and communication team that had a "social calendar" in the format of a spreadsheet, to plan communications. You can now import these validated casts in Anser, no extra work needed, they will be published on time.

Segmenting is key when working in growth and marketing.
Also shipped this summer, Anser makes you able to create lists, identify your targets or interesting castrs, view their feeds, and more !

Social media management is all about content, and feeds are the way it is distributed.
The beauty with decentralized social networks is that there is no "one feed" as in traditional social media. Identifying the good message, not missing the most important insight, it all goes with using the proper feed.
On Farcaster, people have been pressuring the Warpcast team to add more and more feed types. They won't, that's a professional feature, not a consumer feature.
This summer, we have added:
Not every cast is ready to be sent right now.
You might want to work with your team and get it perfect, review it, and let your manager click on the final Schedule or Sent button.
We've cooked for you, and the Anser team has shipped a Draft feature over the summer, for casts, quote casts, and replies !
Once you've tasted the Anser casting calendar, there's no way back !
Not only you are able to schedule and edit your scheduled casts, but also now you can do EVERYTHING without moving away from that beautiful view:

The team at Icebreaker is doing a very promising job at building a Web3 LinkedIn.
It was a no-brainer for us to integrate their job info and credentials (EAS attestations)
One of the worst thing you could do in terms of content performance, is cross-posting the exact same content on each platform.
Every social media marketer knows that each platform has their best performing content.
However, sometimes you just want to save some time. Prepare your rich content in Farcaster, and then cross paste it to Twitter (X) in one click !
Direct casts (DC), the Farcaster version of DMs, are centralized. Thay are a feature of Warpcast, the main Farcaster client.
That's a bummer, because that means if you want ot use that cool feature, you have to get out of Anser.
As Anser is not only for communication specialists, but also for growth hacker, sometimes you find the perfect match and you want to DC them straight away.
With this button, on every profile, you will be able to deliver your best sales pitch in the blink of an eye.
Search was already here from the beginning in Anser, but let's be honnest, it was not the best one.
This summer, we have upped our investigator game integrating Neynar search feature.
... for a marketing video on social network feeds.
One of the biggest features delivered this summer is the ability to integrate videos in your casts, that will be 100% compatible with Warpcast.
