What's your favourite season?
P.S. I originally made these for OpenLens, with the idea being that each season would be a separate post and everyone would collect their favourite season, but it turns out we could only submit one post for OpenLens. So here it is now!
- @bradorbradley talks Collects
- 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.

- Good morning 🌻🌿🌞
- Hey Frens !! Do you know that electronic music style called minimal 🎶?
Enplap get inspired by that but he needed moar, a lot moar. He create the MAXIMAL version of it with that track FAT BURNER🔥
Ready to take off and listen to that (quasi) non-stop layering of sounds ? Feel free, and if u like collect it for 1 WMatic (and please share : 20% ref fee) 🚀
A few words about that song :
Working for the Palp Festival in Switzerland, I had to record "les sons du fromage" (the sounds of cheese) during a raclette party at my recording studio Roystone.
The idea was to sample every noises around the meal called "raclette" (burning a huge piece of cheese with a special heater), and then organize a contest for artists to create their own tracks around those samples.
As a jury I cannot participate, but this would have been my song.
Listen to the gas heater running, the cheese melting, the wine glasses and bottles, the onion jar, the pepper, the love and the life...
https://palpfestival.ch
https://www.raclette-du-valais.ch/fr-ch/raclette-du-valais/histoire-origine

BTW that meal is very heavy (pure cheese). That song help to burn that cheese fat out of your body If you listen to it when working out 🔥🤠
- 30 Investing in the Future Internet with 1kx — pet3rpan
pet3rpan is a partner from 1kx. Investing in autonomous worlds, NFT IP, metalabels, generative consumer and DAOs. Summoner at Hydra Ventures, a fund backing investment DAOs.
He's an early founding member at MetaCartel from 2018, the web3 community of creators and developers focused on building blockchain applications, using crypto in interesting ways, exploring new ideas and experiments with DAOs.
I first met Peter possibly in 2018, but definitely Berlin Blockchain Week in August 2019. Originally from Sydney, Australia. We talk about his experiences in the web3 space. About the early internet and how it works. About the cypherpunks from the 70s, 80s and 90s who pioneered these ideas about digital freedoms and rights, and cryptography.
And we talk about collective lore and canon, like a shared belief in the Star Wars universe that is held in a shared imagination.

- BACK TO WORK BOYZ !!
- "Sin Respirar" by Martin Catoira is a captivating mix of rock and pop that immerses you in a life story. The lyrics talk about the lies and mistakes that we all make while walking. We are at times trapped in a world that does not allow us to escape. With an energetic and emotional melody, the song invites you to reflect on the difficulties of maintaining a relationship in an environment full of obstacles. "Without Breathing" captures the internal struggle and emotional turmoil that arises when love is faced with reality and the need to find a way out amidst adverse circumstances.

- Introducing the Lens SDK – your new go-to toolkit to create powerful experiences & applications for the social layer of Web3.
Developers rejoice! We have lowered the barrier to entry and made it easier than ever to create innovative, powerful, and engaging Lens apps and experiences. With the new Lens SDK you can plug into the Web3 social layer with just 10 lines of code.
Pick and choose the features you want - only the components you use contribute to the final size of your app bundles. These capabilities are all handled by the Lens SDK, allowing developers to focus on their core features.
The SDK is modular and composable. It seamlessly integrates with other Web3 projects, protocols, and tools such as @litprotocol.lens to enable token-gated publications.
Mobile apps have been some of the biggest success stories on Lens. The new SDK doubles down on mobile support, starting with React Native. With the SDK, you can build polished mobile apps without underlying knowledge of the Lens API or Lens Protocol.
Come build the future on the social layer of Web3.
