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.
