Launchcaster + Orange DAO
I’m excited to announce that Launchcaster has been acquired by Orange DAO. We launched Launchcaster two years ago because we didn’t have a great place to share and discover crypto projects with a community that cared. Since then, our side project has evolved into a public good, fostering thousands of launches and attracting over 15,000 crypto builders. We wanted to find a long-term home for Launchcaster where it could grow and continue as a public good for crypto builders without needing to t...

Four Years of Pivots: Lessons on Building Marketplaces and Crypto Apps
Last month, I knew Dan Romero, founder of Farcaster, was going live on TBPN, tech's hottest show, and that Farcaster would get a big shoutout.
I thought it would be hilarious if there was a TBPN mini app on Farcaster that would allow Farcaster users to watch the segment about Farcaster ... on Farcaster. LOL. I spun up a quick app, added the manifest, updated the actions, deployed it to Vercel, and posted it to Farcaster.

A few days later, my notifications started blowing up, and I saw that John and Jordi announced the mini app live on the show.
John: And Big news, you can watch TBPN on Farcaster. Someone built a Farcaster mini app ...
Jordi: Which is a very cool novel experience you have on Farcaster. People can create sub-apps within the app, and they live in the feed. I think it's Jayme Hoffman who built this.
Dan: Are you talking about the pirate feed of TBPN?
Jordi: It's authorized. Fully authorized.
That day, thousands of Farcasters watched the TBPN livestream through the mini app. Dozens still use it daily. Wild for just a joke.
Fast forward to last week, coinbrad.eth reached out asking if i could make TBPN work inside Coinbase Wallet. I thought "TBPN on TBA" was such a good meme.

TBPN on TBA is a mini app for watching the TBPN's daily show on TBA, Coinbase's new app.
TBPN will be livestreaming from A new day one, Coinbase's launch event today, July 16th, at 3 pm PT.
You can watch it through the TBPN mini app on TBA.

And since TBPN on TBA is technically a derivative work, we are legally required to Drink Tap Water.

TBPN on TBA is a derivative work. Which means, by law, we must drink tap water. Introducing $TAPWATER
Here’s the story behind TBPN on TBA and the @paragraph post where $TAPWATER is flowing https://newsletter.jaymehoffman.com/drink-tap-water
Exciting updates from @jayme! A mini app created for Farcaster lets users watch the TBPN show right on the platform, leading to thousands engaging with it. The fun continues with TBPN on TBA, a new app for featuring the daily show. Join in on the innovation and laughter!
