Haha that licensing is for Pudgy Penguins Team's Chapter 2 merch release so it'll ultimately be up to them!

It looks like a new way to optimize web3 entrance in real-world space

Definitely, and it's not even a week old

I have a newsletter on Substack as well, that I intend to keep here. But I also have something on paragraph. Sharing a link to that on Farcaster turns the link magically into that neat example you showed above. But that's not all: I acquired tens of new subscribers in a day. For a poetry-oriented newsletter, that's huge.

The effect of Frames is big. Are you active on Farcaster?

I mainly just share my substack posts on there and have played around with Paragraph in the past, but that was over a year ago. Curious how you streamline the two platforms on the subscriber side 🤔

Ah, I see. I saw you on Farcaster indeed. I took the dive. It's really a great place to be, especially if you're into more than the coin-side of crypto. What they did very well at first, is investing time into quality daily active users. That has fostered a very strong community of early Farcasters. At the moment they are shipping new functionality like crazy. And frames is a result of that. They shipped, and the community went crazy building. With support from ecosystem players. I mean, look at the GM Farcaster interview with Jesse from Base. Base is sending pizzas to every single frames hackathon in the world.

You should hang out on Farcaster more often. Really. I mean, Lens seemed to have had a similar feature to frames, but did they get so many different apps, and an open source library in a matter of days?

The stream lining is a great question. I don't, to be honest. Although both my publications are about poetry (mainly), I am just not sure enough that my substack audience will move with me to paragraph. A lot of my subscribers came through stuff like recommendations. With 800 subscribers, I'm not a big publication, but it's enough for me to worry about losing them.

My Paragraph publication is basically a listing of new onchain poems over 2-week periods. So, it's very oriented to the crypto-natives and crypto curious. The audience is different and paragraph is a great fit for that audience. Especially with functionality such as collecting, token-gating and so on. If my substack newsletter was aimed at those who are either full into web3 or curious about it, I would move it in a heartbeat.

Have you spoken to Kaloh about this? He might have some great insights on that topic.

Appreciate you sharing your context on this! I definitely need to get more active on Farcaster and am considering Paragraph more...just need to figure out how to balance the content and audiences (or just do both in parallel)

And great suggestion with Kaloh, we chat on the side sometimes!
