NexArt by Arrotu is a platform to create and collect generative art on Base. You have three creation styles: Geometric Shapes, Fractal Noise, and Code Mode. As the names suggest Geometric Shapes and Fractal Noise gives you kind of pre-built templates with enough configurability to let your creativity fly. If you want to go further, you can pick the code mode. Code Mode lets you write custom javascript with p5.js and create your unique generative art. Even if you are not a programmer, you can get started with chatgpt. It was fun to create the following two pieces

The workflow from creating a piece to minting it onchain is very seamless. There is a mini app too. If you are an artist or someone who like playing around creating abstract shapes with code, check it out. You will like it. I did.

Quidl by Justin is an app that lets you airdrop ERC-20's to your community no matter where they are. It works with Slack, Discord, Telegram, and Farcaster. I checked out the farcaster mini app and you could pick recipients based on usernames, members or followers of channels, folks you follow on farcaster or folks who follow you. You can make the airdrop claimable i.e. people have to explicitly claim the airdrop or you can do it the simpler direct way of transfers.

The app has its own smart wallet that you can fund to do the airdrop. Or if you wish you can head to the settings and pick your facaster connected wallets.

I found it incredibly powerful way of rewarding your community. And of course, brownie points for a dead simple user experience. I am guessing it would have similar capabilities for the other platforms (Slack, Dicord etc.) too. Sp, if you run a discord server, a TG group, or a Farcaster channel, check it out.

I knew Geoff for his banger casts and for being one of the folks on the top of the farcaster rewards leaderboard. But boy did I miss the biggest bangers. He has built this really cool visualization tool you can use to view the farcaster network. He has very neatly classified sub-networks such as the degen community and potential bot networks and more. You can look up your profile and see how your network is connected across farcaster. It was really cool for me to see how some of the folks I follow fall into one of these bot networks.

If you are a data junkie or generally are curious about your own network, give it a spin here. It's fun.

@0xpuneet and I had been working on something that we were supposed to ship last week. Well guess what. The last 10% of the work is the 90% of the work. It just didn't feel complete. Without revealing too much, scoring isn't as simple as it looks. Immense respect for the folks trying to do that.

Anyways, after a lot of grinding, I think we are almost there. If you are a fan of Clanker, I believe you will love it. Stay tuned!
