Warpcast Updates
NUX Improvements — @akshaan, @cmlad.eth, @blockheim
- Working on algo recommended feed instead of auto follow
- Instead of proposing a set of users there will be some experiments with an algo feed that takes the most interesting content first and continues to fine tune it.
- Content is primarily curated by Warpcast team on what content is most interesting
- Opens up the ability for users to get featured outside the exclusive list before
- Improvements to signup flow
Feed Improvements — @akshaan
- Improvements to spam detection
DC Improvements — @gt, @gabrielayuso.eth
- Performance and feature improvements
- Monitoring performance on DCs similar to hubs
- Much better performance in the last 30 days
- Closer the team gets to top performance the closer they can start opening APIs as well
