- I’ve decided 2024 will be my most creative year yet. I’m excited to lean into my creative instincts more intentionally this year. I’ll be sharing all of it with you all.
If you follow me by now you’ve seen me post my photography, videos, AI-enabled creations, and even maybe some animated characters (lens/@lens/daftjack 👀)
But this year is going to be different. I’m gonna lean into it, share more, and often. For fun, to try new tools and apps, and b/c I enjoy it.
Sharing with the @lens/refraction community first

- Hi guys friendly reminder that at our https://discord.molens.xyz/ you have a channel "questions" where you can ask any question and if you feel like it is a question to dumb to ask then you can simply use /confess "question" and no one will know that it was you asking in first place :)
- This isn’t the next Facebook.
This is a social operating system.
Every existing app and platform can already benefit from becoming Lens-compatible. When developers “port” their apps over it’s positive-sum for everyone. More Data + More Users = More Value.
To those building natively here:
There is room for apps of all scales and purposes, similar to a desktop or mobile operating system. Some apps here will become giants akin to Microsoft Office, Google Chrome, or Adobe Photoshop—universal platforms that become integral to the user's experience. These 'giant' apps are used by virtually everyone because of their broad utility and the network effects that come with widespread adoption.
Meanwhile, other apps will carve out their own niches, much like CCleaner, Notepad++, VLC, or WinZip. These are the 'utility' apps that perform specific tasks exceptionally well. They may not be universally known but they garner loyal user bases because they fill a need, solve a problem, or simply do their job better than any other app out there.
I encourage every dev right now to take a moment and look at the apps installed on their device. Lens has the capacity to host a similar diversity of applications, each contributing to the overall “Social Operating System” experience in its own unique way. Rather than compete with Facebook I would recommend building with the “Operating System” framework in mind and trying to solve your own niche problem/task first.
Not everything has to compete with Facebook’s scale!
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A fun brainstorming game to play
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Find an App or System Setting in your device’s OS and then ask ChatGPT for the Social OS equivalent.
Use this prompt:
I'm building apps on Lens (a new social networking protocol) and I'm told to think of it not as a Facebook competitor but as a new Social Operating System. They say there's room for apps at all levels, the same as a desktop or mobile operating system. So in that context, what would be the “Google Maps” of this OS?
* Social Network Navigation App: This app would map out the social connections between users, helping them navigate through their relationships. It could provide insights into how different users are connected, recommend potential new connections based on shared interests or mutual friends, and suggest paths for reaching out to new people.
* Event Discovery and Navigation App: This app could help users find and navigate to events within the social network. Just as Google Maps can help you find physical events and navigate to them, this app could help you find online events happening within the social network and guide you on how to participate.
* Content Discovery and Navigation App: This app would guide users through the vast amount of content available in the network. It could use algorithms to recommend content based on users' preferences and behavior, help users explore new types of content, and provide tools to navigate through different content categories.
* Trend Mapping App: This app could track and visualize trends within the social network. It could show what topics are currently popular, how trends evolve over time, and how they spread across the network.
What would be the Logic Pro?
* Social Media Music Studio: This app would allow users to create, edit, and mix music or audio tracks directly within the social OS. Users could then share their creations on their social profiles or collaborate with others. Features might include various sound samples, mixing tools, and the ability to record directly into the app.
* Podcast Creation App: This app would provide all the tools necessary to record, edit, and publish podcasts. It could also integrate with various social platforms to promote episodes, engage with listeners, and gather analytics.
* Audio Storytelling App: This app could provide a platform for users to create and share audio stories or spoken word content. It could offer tools for adding sound effects, music, and other audio enhancements.
* Collaborative Music App: This app would allow users to collaborate on music projects, providing a shared space where they can contribute tracks, mix together, and share their creations.
What would be the utility apps?
* Privacy Management App
* Content Scheduling App
* Analytics App
* Curation App
* Identity Verification App
* Anti-Harassment App
* Cross-Platform Search App
There’s a ton of opportunity here to build social apps which can sustain your lifestyle without needing to reach 1 billion users.
- 🇫🇷 8 Big EthCC 2023 Announcements 🇫🇷
Missed the Ethereum community’s takeover of Paris this week?
No worries, here’s a recap of the biggest advances unveiled at this year’s event 👇
1) Lens protocol V2 🍃
The Lens team unveiled their V2 system & its new functionalities
These include “Open Actions,” which enable any external smart contract actions on any Lens publication. Also new is Profiles V2, which uses ERC-6551 so Lens profiles can own other NFTs
2) UniswapX 🦄
Uniswap Labs unveiled UniswapX -- a new trading protocol
The system intros a mechanism called “Dutch orders,” where a trade order’s price gradually declines until filled
It offers gas-free transactions, no-cost failed txs, and protection against MEV to boot
3) Chainlink CCIP 🔗
Chainlink Labs had big news this week too, having launched its anticipated Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol on a handful of popular DeFi chains
The big idea? Unlock new cross-chain economies
4) Starknet Appchains 🔶
Build your own app-specific chains, Starknet style!
The L2’s team just announced the Starknet Stack will support deploying customizable appchains
5) Gnosis Pay 💳
Self-custodying crypto onchain, but spending it with a Visa card when you need to?
That’s the Gnosis Pay way!
GnosisDAO just revealed this new decentralized payment network and an associated Visa-powered Gnosis Card
6) & 7) Mantle + Linea alpha 🔲
Mantle Network launched its mainnet alpha, while Consensys fully opened its Linea mainnet alpha at EthCC
Mantle is very modular, while Linea is a zkEVM
Both are pointing to bold scaling frontiers ahead for Ethereum!
8) EVM extends 📈
In EVM news from EthCC, Tezos intro'd Etherlink (an EVM-compatible rollup with Tezos as the L1) + Solana Foundation welcomed Solang, a compiler that allows writing Solidity smart contracts on Solana

- Divine Recursions - Overcoming The Insurmountable With AI
Earlier this year I sat down with documentary filmmakers Tanay Gokhale and Zhiwei Fang to share how working collaboratively with AI changed my life after struggling with a rare form of a degenerative neurological disorder called CMT. This is a portion of that conversation from their upcoming documentary, produced in partnership with UCBerkeley.
The “Divine Recursions” self portrait series I discussed here was a huge turning point for me; collaborating so personally with AI changed my perspective of myself and my abilities in a way that I didn’t think was possible. I’m honored to have works from this series included in my solo exhibition at bitforms Gallery NYC, “In The Screen I Am Everything”: https://bitforms.art/exhibition/ellie-pritts-in-the-screen-i-am-everything/
