- Bring Your Whole Self to the Party with Disco.xyz
gm lens fam 🪩 Disco is your identity for the Metaverse. At Disco, we believe you are the multifaceted center of the party, and so you should be able to own, control, and reflect data about yourself to the world however you choose.
Think of us as your data backpack 🎒, where you can stash your private data in a way that’s owned and controlled by you. Creating your data backpack is similar to building an online profile, with components you can take with you across sites.
Our identities are complex and ever-evolving, and so too should the way we reflect the parts about ourselves in our daily interactions–online and IRL, onchain and offchain. That commitment to expression, fun, and social interaction is what brings us to Lens!
We are here to make sure that you never fill out a form again, that you never go to a concert of your favorite artist without receiving the VIP treatment that you've earned at home, that you never show up to a conference and have to wait in line.
You should be able to control the parts of yourself– or the things you do online– by choosing what you share publicly or what you keep in your backpack for your eyes only.
We’re excited to be here and can’t wait for the Lens community to join us on the dancefloor! Get DIDdy w/ it, collect this post, and claim your data backpack at app.disco.xyz/
🏆 Anyone who collects this post by 6/9 will receive a GM credential in their backpacks! 🏆 #genesispost

- OBI Season 1 presented by @RugRadio: January Guests & Mint Details Season 1 Episode 1 will be live-streamed this Thursday at 4 pm PST / 7 pm EST from my Twitter. I’ll be joined by shipping extraordinaire @dgreenstein1, Co-Founder of @soundxyz_.
To commemorate the launch, we will release this season’s theme song as a music NFT powered by Sound Protocol! Remember those free Season 0 digital collectibles we released last month...?
Well those serve as your allowlist spots for the mint, which is happening today at 4 pm PST / 7 pm EST. Former guest and Web3 music trailblazer @ReoCragun reimagined the song from the ground up, and I couldn’t be more excited with how it turned out.
https://www.bonfire.xyz/onebigidea/season-one-mint
Presale will run for 24 hours at which point any remaining supply will hit public sale on January 12th at 4 pm PST. For more details be sure to check out my latest OBI newsletter.
https://austinhurwitz.substack.com/p/season-one-mint
The theme for Season 1 is: Enabling Web3 music’s breakout moment. Each week I’ll bring on the artists, platforms, collectors, and thought leaders at the bleeding edge of music.
We will hear their stories, unpack their learnings, and get their takes on how we get to widespread Web3 music adoption. By the time the season wraps later this year, you’ll have volumes of perspectives across the industry on how we get there.
Episodes will air live on Thursdays at 4 pm PST / 7 pm EST. They will be released to streaming services the following week. I’ll announce the season's guests at the top of each month. For January, I am pleased to welcome @dgreenstein1, @lnrzdao, and @musicben_eth.
David Greenstein is the co-founder of http://Sound.xyz, a suite of web3-native music and economic tools powering the next generation of artists and their communities.
LNRZ (pronounced loners) is a creative incubator and producer of groundbreaking music and visual NFTs. Founded by Reo Cragun and Jeremy Lewis, the collective is community-owned, with a portion of each NFT sale going into the LNRZ treasury for use to be determined by its members.
Music Ben is the Co-founder of Ziggy Ziggy Music, a platform for Web3 music discovery, posting daily videos of music NFTs. Music Ben is the Co-founder of Ziggy Ziggy Music, a platform for Web3 music discovery, posting daily videos of music NFTs.
Thank you all for the incredible amount of support. I can not wait to take all I’ve learned from Season 0 to make this the best season yet!
- Hey everyone - I've written my first long-form thought piece and released it on Mirror.xyz, please consider giving it a read! My new year's resolution was to write more. My goal with this piece is to help people understand the nature of the current web2 social landscape and begin to question what role we all play in it. This is a prerequisite to understanding what @lensprotocol is all about, and something I talk a lot about with people practically every day.
I hope you like it!
**Second-Mover Advantage and Why It’s So Damn Hard To Build The Next Big Social Media App**
https://mirror.xyz/bradorbradley.eth/bncB4C2jq9SpR6OhfE-0FYonPB9fNPnNrreo0WSVrRI
Here's a quick teaser:
Why is it so hard to make a successful new social media product in 2023? Why do a few apps come to dominate our daily lives while so many more never even make it to the Top 100 App Store?
New web2 social products need to succeed at these 3 things: 1. build a great product (hard) 2. scale your users (expensive/risky) 3. survive second-mover advantage from Big Tech copy cats (seemingly impossible) It's never been a scarier time to build a new social product
There's no shortage of examples of Big Tech hindering growth (or killing entirely) newcomer social apps by shamelessly copying them:
@Snapchat stories >> @instagram stories
@Clubhouse >> @Twitter spaces
@BeReal_App >> @tiktok_us Now
And yet, some newcomer apps are able to still create entire new categories of social products - like TikTok and most recently, BeReal b/c of the robust communities they establish early on It's easier to copy features than communities, and that's good news for newcomers
What conditions are necessary for a social app environment to enable more of these new communities and products to flourish? In order to imagine a new kind of social landscape, we need to understand the problems with the existing one
But more on that in pt. 2
- React Native Lens UI Kit now has a <Search /> component! 🌿
I put together a quick 2 minute video showing how to build an app with Expo + @lensprotocol including a demo of the new Search component.
Check out the API and the other documentation here 👇

- gm video creators of Lens! 🌿
Excited to announce the highly-requested feature - **video views** 👀 is now live on #Lenstube! This is a basic but important metric for creators to understand how their videos are performing.
For now, you can find the video view count on the video page itself. View count registers start views with deduping logic that prevents users from attempting to inflate view counts. In the future, we'll support additional viewership and engagement metrics so you can better understand popularity and performance.
What other metrics do you want to see for Lenstube?
