- chatbank — decentralized social chat on Lens ·
#8B5CF6 - xmtp-js — typed XMTP SDK wrappers
- lens-protocol-sdk — Lens v3 client
- wagmi-hooks — reactive eth hooks
- vercel-ai-sdk — streaming chat UIs
- reown-appkit — modern WC modal
- mlc-llm-edge — local LLMs on consumer HW
- the right unit of social is the relationship, not the post
- a chat client is just an agent UI with low latency
- self-custody only works if the UX hides the keys
- prompt engineering is just programming with worse error messages
