The dashboard can be found bellow For the builders, think of the "all active farcaster users" and "all active farcaster channels" queries as your base tables for building off of (in Dune or API). Both contain dozens of metrics from offchain and onchain.

For starters, let's take a look at words. I implemented TF-IDF so that you can has a frequency, quality, and uniqueness check on trending words on Farcaster. Not surprisingly, we see mint, degen, nft, and base in here. You can filter for trending in a specific channel too.

Next up, we have user tiers. I created five tiers of users "npc, active, star, influencer, and vip". You can find the definitions for them in the dashboard, but this gives us an immediate quality filter (which was already applied to the trending words query 😉)

For tracking all users, you can see not only their farcaster activity and onchain txs/volume/contract deploys, but also their top channels and top shared domains (in links).

There is a "trending users" query that lets you apply six different filters. Below I've applied filters for "users that @jessepollak has followed who are less than 7 days old and sorted by week over week growth in engagement" These might be some up and coming base builders 👀

Next up are channels. I've created five tiers of channels, seen below. This is mostly inspired by how subreddit work. There are roughly 130 high quality channels (niche+).

Looking at the "all channels" summary, we can start to get some interesting insight by layering in our user tiers. Not only can we see channel activity, but we can see the activity by quality of the user (and most active high quality users).

Imagine you wanted to find new channels that had the most active influencers - you can use filters on the trending channels query for that! Looks like there are a few small channels that might be worth checking out and joining early 👀

This is just the tip of data iceberg, it's the first time that this kind of combined identity/social/transaction analysis is possible basically for free for anyone. I'm really excited to see what you all find and build with this 😁

Possibly the biggest change in Microsoft Teams history? Teams without the Teams? Public preview in November to desktop, mobile, iOS, and Android. Here is what you need to know: 🟣 Microsoft is introducing a new combined chat and channels experience. Meaning chat and teams/channels will show up under the "Chat" sidebar icon. No more dedicated Teams sidebar button. 🟣 Teams and Channels will have their own section in chat. 🟣 Group your chats and/or channels however best works for you with favourites and custom sections (up to 50 sections and 50 items per section) 🟣 “Unread,” “Chat,” “Channels,” “Meetings,” and “Muted” Filters 🟣 New message can initiate a new chat or new channel post 🟣 New Mention view gathers all your mentions into a single interactive list. 🟣 At launch, a self-service, guided onboarding will help users discover the new experience and configure it to their preferences (on or off) 🟣 Users who prefer to keep chat and channels separate can easily do so during the onboarding process or at any time later. So far, it looks like there are no IT/tenant-level override controls. This experience change is targeted at getting more users using teams/channels. Most Teams users live in "chats", not teams/channels. There will undoubtedly be some pushback from users who use teams/channels well and like having the mental separation of teams/channels vs chats. I've been fortunate to be using it for a while, and I'm personally a big fan; my use of the correct channels has gone way up, and now I can find them all in one place in the app, particularly on mobile. I'm now much more likely to see channel conversations I need to see. What do you think? #MicrosoftTeams #Microsoft365

Sam Altman on why you shouldn’t track absolute user growth in the early days of a startup “Nothing but a great product will save you; you can get everything else right and it still won’t work.” He points out that almost all startup founders get the following wrong: “It is more important to have a small number of users that love you than a lot of users that like you… Eventually what you want of course is a lot of users that really love your product, but that’s almost impossible to do.” In practice, you have two choices: Deep and Narrow: “You have a small number of users that really love you and then find out how to find more and more of those users and broaden the appeal of the product.” Shallow and Wide: “You can have a lot of people that sort of use the product once or twice and kind of like it and try to figure out how to get them more engaged over time.” “With high confidence, I can say that you want to start with a small number of users that really love you. Almost all great companies have products that start this way.” He argues that a good indicator of users loving your product is retention and frequency of use: “In fact, I think this is so important that you actually shouldn’t track absolute growth in number of users in the early days of a startup. You should just track how often they’re using it… That’s a good early indicator of users that love you—better still is them spontaneously telling their friends to buy your product.” Follow Startup Archive for more tactical startup advice!
