TLDR
Hub reliability improvements in progress, ordering sync model revamped. Feedback collected on channel pain points, expanding follow/unfollow features. New deep link for composer actions via URL.
Hub Reliability
- Gradual trend line where time to process has slowly been going up
- Generally seeing increased load on things on Warpcast side
- Made some fixes to bring them back down
- Warpcast Status dashboard: status.warpcast.com
Ordering - a new sync model
- Relevant links
- Core beliefs
- Decentralized, global state is necessary
- Sync should be easy
- Posting should be instant & without fees
- Storage and bandwidth need constraints
- Turing-completeness is undesirable
Channels
- Focusing on as a top priority internally to figure out the pain points & stickiness
- Moving more towards “cozy corners”
- More membership oriented model — instead of a topic/hashtag that then has moderation, moving to a model where you’re explicitly inviting people to participate in channel
- Easier for most folks to curate (like a group chat)
- Still public though, the work people do to make it interesting can be shown on the protocol
- Feed will move to more of a narrowcast model
- Can also use token gating or even programmatically inviting
- More membership oriented model — instead of a topic/hashtag that then has moderation, moving to a model where you’re explicitly inviting people to participate in channel
- New auth model on Warpcast API that can be used for follows/unfollows in the short future
- More on the follow/unfollow channel API spec
Deeplink to Composer Actions
- Warpcast will trigger composer actions from a URL
