With it being a relatively slow week in the Builderverse and the recent launch of permissionless signups, I thought I'd take the chance to highlight some awesome Farcaster tools since we're always encouraging everyone to check it out! Below you'll find a variety of projects, all utilizing the Farcaster protocol.
Some of these projects have built incredibly interesting apps like onchain live audio, location sharing, and even discussions directly on any webpage. The Farcaster ecosystem is really beginning to flourish, and we should see Builders creating even more exciting tools as time goes on which is really exciting.
Aburra
Formerly known as Alphacaster, Aburra is a Farcaster client that has also introduced a Web3 live audio platform similar to Twitter Spaces. Built by Builder member Billzh, it has been a great experience so far. Keep an eye out for his next Farcaster Builder chat on Aburra! In the meantime, there is a BLVKHVND Q4 Pro Team Update scheduled for today at 1:30pm EDT!
