Direct casts #527

Open alexreyes opened 1 year ago

alexreyes commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Problem: you can build 90% of a farcaster client only using farcasterjs (which is amazing!) but it's missing direct casts.

Describe the solution you'd like An API for retrieving and sending direct casts

Describe alternatives you've considered Haven't looked into it too much but the alternative is to mess with farcaster hubs

Good call, this is indeed missing. I'll need to take a look at the way clients manage direct casts currently.

I don't believe that the Warpcast REST API provides this functionality, or at least publicly -- implementing this then might rely on adding in the support for hub-specific functionality that has been on the TODO list for a bit now. I'll post learnings here

@gsgalloway great! Curious to hear what you find in this thread. It would be super helpful for a alt client I'm working on for fun rn.

This is likely dependent on issue #540
