Felt lets you create a custom feed of your closest frens on farcaster. You start by picking your best frens (upto 15 farcaster profiles) and then you can see their casts when you launch the app.

I really like this idea. Most Social Networks including Farcaster are primarily social media apps first. The content is at the centre and connections are at periphery. For instance, how often have you find yourself wondering - hmm! been a while since I last saw a cast from <my purple bff> to realize that the person had been casting and it's just you who hadn't been seeing their casts on your feed.

I know this can be solved by just turning on notifications. But I’ve had my phone on silent for over a decade and I’m not a fan of notifs. That said, it probably works fine for most people.

Felt reminds me of some of the older iterations of close social networks such as Path and Google Plus which had an interesting feature called Circles that would allow you to create a circle of close friends and see their feed. Today, I guess we solve for this through group chats on whatsapp, telegram, and iMessage (?).

The feed experience feels a little clunky. Also, you need to toggle between the mini app and the app to interact with the casts. But otherwise it is fairly straightforward to use and an interesting V1 overall.

Give it a try and if you don't yet, give Chris a follow.

As the name suggests, Bitquiz is a quiz you play and you just might win a bit of Bitcoin (Sats). There are 10 Questions. You have 5 seconds for each question. You score points based on your accuracy and speed.

Questions are interesting and range from Geopolitics to History, Science, and Technology. It is fun, light, and you should be done with a quiz in a few mins. There is a weekly leaderboard based on your highest score of the week. Check it out and let Tch know your feedback.

This is one of the best essays I have read on building in crypto in a while. Mac was previously at Kiwi News and shares insights into what makes building in consumer crypto challenging and and the many ways founders accidentally can shoot themselves in the foot.

What mom hasn't told you about building in consumer crypto

How exactly is consumer crypto different from normal consumer startups? Also, what does it mean for the founders and how to find signal in this world full of noise?

I don't want to add much commentary here and would rather have you read the OG post. If you are a founder or someone planning to start something new, give it a read. I wish I had known all these when I was starting out in crypto 4 years back.

I lost a week and then some more to a really bad cold. That was not fun. Outside of that, I spent most of my time working on The Clankline.

0xPuneet and I had been iterating on the clankline to make it more useful and fun. It's been an interesting journey. We have a small set of users who consistently use the app.

One new thing we tried was getting folks to predict price movements of new tokens. We were kind of surprised by the response it got. Note - The participation was good. The prediction not so much. There is something new new we are planning on this line to launch on Clankline which we are very very excited about. More on this soon.
