Meanwhile, haole shared a new release of Recaster client application allowing users to take pictures directly within the application highlighting the fact that this feature isn't in main client Warpcast.

You can take a picture and publish directly from Recaster. Warpcast doesn't have this feature! So Farcaster is already "sufficiently decentralized".😂 😂 https://warpcast.com/patxol.eth/0xe1281f94
On another note, woj shared a list update on Supercast application allowing a better user experience uniformized between desktop and mobile.

new on supercast: lists are back! - discover new lists on the leaderboard - share links to the lists with your friends - display feed with or without the recasts from people on the list - works 100% the same on mobile and web coming later: - follow all button (great for onboarding friends to farcaster) - tip all button - channel lists - sharing the list via a frame extremely happy to get this done since lists were forever broken they are 10x more useful now (to form moxie / tipping alliances, discover people hidden on warpcast etc) so i’m happy to have lists back on supercast — in the form i can improve over time please let me know your ideas for next features that should be built on top of the lists 🔥
Onchain Artists
The world of onchain art is thriving, and this week saw some fascinating discussions around new mints and projects.
Builders Building
jessepollak shared his thoughts, stating that building should be done no matter global events. This mantra seems to resonate deeply with builders who are tirelessly crafting the future of onchain technology—because who needs market stability when you can just keep building?

prices down? build. prices up? build. peacetime? build. wartime? build. politics? build. togetherness? build. sadness? build. happiness? build. onchain emerging as the greatest technology revolution in the history of humanity? build, build, build.
Meme of the week
And finally, let’s wrap up this week’s edition with the meme from aviationdoctor directly coming from Farcon Asia.
