Cozycast is an open-source project designed to give Farcaster users control over their feeds.
It is the first project from Concept Testing, a "sufficiently decentralized incubator" led by @markfishman and @samuelhuber. Ideas are sourced, funded, and built by the community.
Although it will not be a standalone site/app, Cozycast can be added to any existing or future Farcaster project. We hope it goes on to live in many clients!

The funds from this campaign* will be used to deploy a bounty with Bountycaster with specific technical requirements about how to build Cozycast.
- If the bounty isn't completed within a month, all funds are returned.
- There is no equity or token associated with Cozycast. Contributing to this campaign doesn't promise any other rewards than funding open-source software :)
~WHAT IS COZYCAST?~
The basic version of Cozycast:
1. Designed for web + mobile (iOS & Android)
2. Default feed of accounts you follow in channels you follow
3. Ability to add additional custom feeds using any combination of the following variables:
- Casts restricted to FID < n
- Casts from people that hold a specific NFT in a connected address
4. Read-only: Open casts in Warpcast
5. No notifications
If we hit $2000 USDC raised, we will be able to add to the bounty:
6. Bonus filters for feeds:
- Limit casts to specific channels
- Show all casts (not restricted to people you follow)
~Remember, Cozycast can be added to other clients, so future iterations may have extended functionality such as signers for replying to casts~
