HUBBLE — @sanjay, @wazzymandias, @sds
- Number of nodes up to 11,000+. 
- Experiencing gossip flooding — v1.13.5 is out with fixes. 
- Network divergence — new force sync to allow easy catchup, reach out if affected. 
- Link defragmentation — can potentially cause sync issues, being tracked 
- Warpcast Sync Status — status.warpcast.com (trending up, targeting 1 min max delays) 
STORAGE REDUCTION - @wazzymandias
- Current hub size is 130 GB+, could grow to ~ 500GB in 6-12 months. 
- Proposed FIP — reduce storage unit size by 20% keep cost the same, could help even more in the future 
COMPOSER ACTIONS — @deodad, @horsefacts
- Inspired by External Cast Data spec 
- The goal is to make it easy for third party apps to augment casts - This could also help with frame discoverability, which has been a pain point for devs 
 
- How it’d work - There would be a new action type called - formthat would return an embedded iframe that shows up in/can modify the cast composer
- This lines up with how cast action data is created/returned too -- could expand to other contexts in the future as well 
- Still prototyping, but a v1 could come out this week with a focus on specific use cases(polls, events, and bounties) - More hard-coded for v1 as a POC, but this could expand into an App Store-like model

PROGRAMMABLE DIRECT CASTS — @v
- Usage growing slower than expected (20 unique senders, 5k messages per day) - Not growing fast enough where they can grow it, the Warpcast team should/will be prioritizing: - Composer actions 
- Making frames faster 
- Integrating better with other wallets in mobile 
 
 
- DC quality also moderate — some interesting apps, but few and far between. 
- Planning to wait and see if there is more usage or uptake before we decentralized further. 
DECENTRALIZED CHANNELS — @dwr
- Still trying to figure out how to increase casting in channels - If unable to do that, then spending time to decentralize the primitive would be a mistake 
 
- Warpcast is shipping all these other features(long casts, streaks etc) to try and push more interesting content & help with this problem 
WARPCAST FEED IMPROVEMENTS — @akshaan, @cmlad.eth, @piril
- New ways to report a cast from the feed 
- Keyword muting 
- Spam detection & priority mode
