Composer Actions, Hubble Updates / Sync Status, and Warpcast Improvements

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 form that 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
